Services
I offer private viola and violin lessons for students ages 8 and up (children, teens, adults), from complete beginners to advanced players.
Lessons are held in Berkeley, with the option for me to travel to nearby locations for an additional fee. Virtual lessons are also an option.
Most lessons are 45 minutes-long, and the fee is $60.
30 minute lessons are $40 per lesson, and are suggested for young children.
60-minute lessons are $80 per lesson.
My teaching style is student-centered, tailored to your interests, goals, learning style, and pace. Whether you like classical music, bluegrass, pop, or want to learn to read sheet music, play by ear, or learn music theory… I’ll support you in building skills, confidence, and fun.
I also balance learning songs with technique, making sure that you are set up well with your instrument.
