Violin and Fiddle Lessons: Learn Your Favorite Song!
From 86.05 C$ /h
From traditional American Bluegrass to Katy Perry to Mozart to Django-style Swing music, you can learn to play your favorite song on the violin or viola with determination and effective instruction. These lessons encompass reading music, ear training, and a strong technical foundation on the instrument. All ages and musical goals are welcome!
My 20+ years of musical experience include playing for opera and film scores, throwing down hundreds of studio tracks, touring with Americana and punk bands, performing for weddings, funerals, parties, school assemblies, and I want to share that knowledge with you and accompany you on your artistic journey.

About Me
I currently play with 4 bands: Bremen Town (bluegrass/americana), The Cancellations (alternative rock), The Flogging Seagulls (80's/Irish), The Gipsy All-Stars (jazz/swing), in addition to being hired to record various violin tracks and play popular and Classical music for weddings, proposals, and private events (so many Taylor Swift requests).
I began playing at 10 years old after attending a school assembly where someone played the main title theme for Star Wars on violin...and I was hooked.
Fiddling started at 15, when I started taking lessons from a guy on his boat in Redondo Beach. My step-dad paid him with beer.
My tuxedo cat's name is Mijo and he's (mostly) a very good boy.
