I teach violin & viola lessons for beginning to advanced musicians, both children and adults.  My positive, psychological approach:

• begins with the individual student's own musical goals
• engages students so they are active learners
• sets up good practice habits that maximize learning efficiency
• teaches proper physical hold to prevent future muscle strain or injury
• creates a deep enjoyment of music and of playing with and for others

I teach classical repertoire and/or folk music styles depending on the interests of the student.  All students learn basic music theory and ear training, and perform in group student recitals that are fun and supportive experiences.
