Teaching Philosophy
Music has been a part of my life as long as I can remember. I grew up in a musical family and was gifted in music from an early age. I started my journey when I touched the piano keys, then I something strange touched my soul, then I realized that music ran through my blood and I decided to pursue an education in music. My goal as a violin teacher, is to help my students discover and improve their talents. I want to help make them feel free when they play their notes and feel the melody inside their bodies, I don’t want to make them feel pressure. I love to make them happy, enjoying the melody, and then, make them proud of their achievements.

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.

Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
