I have been giving online violin lessons before the Covid pandemic began. I have found that online lessons can be very successful but I understand that some people may be skeptical of the idea of online violin lessons. For this reason, I don’t require a long term commitment in case you want to test the waters. You’re welcome to try a couple of lessons to see if they will work out for you. Please contact me for details.
I have been teaching new and existing students online and that is going well.

The greatest joy of teaching is seeing the musical progress of my students from week to week. Therefore, I adopt strategies to facilitate their growth and find new ways to promote musical progress. I also like the challenge of learning about my various students because they all grasp music differently.”
