Watch me teach beginner, intermediate, and advanced violin lessons, and see my students and I performing.
Student Teaching Violin Lesson Videos
This is my beginning student playing Allegro by S. Suzuki.
This is my intermediate student playing Gavotte in g minor by J.S. Bach.
This advanced student is working on the first page of the Kabalevsky Violin Concerto. As an 8th grader, they earned a spot in the GTCYS Symphony Orchestra, the top ensemble, and have been studying with me for over nine years.
His dedication demonstrates the long-term growth and musical development that Suzuki violin lessons provide for students of all ages.
Student Violin Performances
The following videos are performances by a few of my students. The first performance is a duet in which I played the first violin part. As a violin teacher, it has been very rewarding for me to see the progress of my students as evidenced by my instruction. I hope you enjoy them. Accompanist: Mary Gustafson

Instructor Violin Performances: Marnie Thies
I have enjoyed playing Beethoven’s “Spring” Sonata and the Paganini Violin Concerto, which is one of my favorite concertos. The “Spring” sonata and the Paganini Concerto are very melodious and I find it easy to be more expressive with melodic pieces.
