Lessons are thoroughly tailored to each student, using a combination of the Suzuki Method and supplementary materials. My goal is for students to become well-rounded musicians who love to practice and play the violin.

Parent involvement is key, especially to the success of younger students. You will be surprised at the progress made when teacher, parent, and child work together.

Consistent practice with your child is necessary…having a musical background is not. Every part of the lesson is explained clearly, giving you the skills to listen to, correct, and encourage your child at home.

Students will learn to play before they learn to read. Delay of music reading is a core component of the Suzuki Method. This allows time for posture to be properly learned and for the development of good tone before a student turns their attention to the music stand.

Commitment to music lessons can be a big step. I approach teaching the violin with enthusiasm and creativity. Through commitment to daily practice and a positive attitude, children and adults will learn to play the violin, developing a love of music that lasts a lifetime!
