I provide private, weekly, 30 minute lessons for violin and viola. I also accept beginning cello students (up through year 4). I have a bachelors in music education with a focus on strings, and am an orchestra teacher in the public schools. I am well acquainted with the school programs nearby, and am happy to work with students on school materials or to provide an extra challenge with solo repertoire. My strength lies with early to intermediate players, though I am comfortable also teaching more advanced violinists as well. I stress note reading, and am a strong teacher for those who wish to learn to read notes independently.
