Private Violin Lessons
Welcome! I am an experienced violin teacher in Pasadena CA and I offer private online violin instruction to children and adults via zoom.
I use a combination of pedagogical methods in my teaching, incorporating the Suzuki Method, sight-reading instruction, music theory workbooks, games and interactive software, to ensure students receive a well-rounded music education.
Besides classical violin, I also teach contemporary style violin, fiddle and beginning improvisational technique, as well as music genres from around the world, including rock, blues, Scottish fiddle, and Middle Eastern music.
Lessons are available in 30, 45 or 60 minute increments. Check out the FAQ page for more information and Studio Policies.
To inquire into lessons, please email me via the Contact page form, with a short summary of what you are looking for and the experience level of the student.
I look forward to working with you!

Playing an Instrument Can Benefit Your Brain
We have all heard that music education is important for brain development in children. Now neuroscience is proving why: (click here for a really great short animated clip on this subject).
