Online violin lessons for students all ages and levels
From 50.09 C$ /h
I'm offering online violin lessons to students of all ages and levels. We can customize your own lesson schedule to address your particular needs and interests. In regular lessons, we will work on the technical framework from the Franco-Belgian School and utilize it to create music: basic elements of playing such as posture/mechanics, intonation, shifting, bow strokes, bow distribution, vibrato, variety of sound, rhythm, phrasing, and artistic interpretation.

About Me
I am a student at The Shepherd School of Music at Rice University, in Houston TX. My main musical mentors have roots stemming from the great Joseph Gingold and Ivan Galamian. I have taught students for a couple of years now, specializing in ages 10 to 16. I am also accepting adult students of any age. I can offer regular weekly or customized lessons, as well as individual sessions to address specific issues.
