Hi, my name is Ms. Caitlin. I have been teaching private music lessons since 2011. My primary instrument is the violin, but I also play the piano and other string instruments. I have a Master of  Music with a major in violin performance from Memorial University of Newfoundland. I also hold a Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Music Education from Stetson University, and I have an active teaching license in Florida for K-12 Music. While the violin is my primary instrument, I also teach string orchestra and piano. Growing up, I was classically trained, but I also play other genres including fiddle, contemporary, and worship, all in addition to playing in my regional symphony orchestra.

I believe that music is for everyone, and my role as a teacher is to help guide the student towards their own goals and successes. I am open to hearing a student's personal interests and questions to guide our learning process. 

When I am not playing music, I enjoy hiking, rock climbing, and crafting. While I have recently lived in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, I now live in Connecticut and teach in a classroom full-time.

*** Please be patient when it comes to messages. As I teach a full-time job in addition to Outschool, I will not be able to reply instantly.***

If you don’t see a section of a class at a time that works for you, please send me a schedule request. If you are interested in one of my classes listed outside of your learner’s age bracket, message me about the possibility of creating a class at a suitable age. That said, the youngest I am comfortable teaching online violin is age 7, and the youngest online piano students that I will teach is age 5.
