Teaching

violin teacher and student

I offer violin and viola lessons to students of all ages and levels at my studio in Bernal Heights, San Francisco. A certified Suzuki violin and viola instructor, I love working with beginners. Using a curriculum of folk songs, fiddle tunes, and baroque music for beginners to a more advanced classical repertoire for intermediate and advanced students, I give each student a solid foundation on the violin or viola.

My students are able to read music and play by ear and take the violin in whatever direction they choose later on. Using a combination of scales, exercises, rhythm games, and repertoire, I teach my students how to be comfortable and facile on their instruments and also well-rounded musicians. Each student is unique and I vary my teaching approach based on the individual student's learning style.
