I teach violin & viola lessons in the Prescott, AZ area for beginning to advanced musicians.  My positive 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.

Current and former students have won scholarships, participated at summer music festivals, and have played as principal and section with All-State orchestras, youth symphonies, and chamber orchestras.

Reviews

Kind words from parents of my former students in Seattle, before moving to Prescott:

“I want to thank you for guiding Lillian to the higher level of apprehension of violin. She dearly enjoyed learning with you! Thanks for holding those recitals so that we can enjoy the accomplishment of our kids. I believe Lillian learned more than just violin from you, she learned the passion of music, patience and gracefulness and a lot lot more!”

“Henry has SO enjoyed working with you so he'll be very disappointed to hear [that you’re moving].”

“We are all sad to see you leave, I think you have shepherded Charlotte well these past few years as she has changed and grown and your teaching and understanding have made a long term difference in her life. Thank you for your dedication and flexibility and kindness.”

“Yazad has really enjoyed learning from you. Wishing you all the best with your move!”
