Lessons

WWVP registered private music tutor

Welcome!

Whether you are beginning your musical journey or building on existing skills, my lessons provide a supportive, engaging, and individually tailored learning experience. I meet each student where they are, whether that means developing confidence with new skills, consolidating foundations, or extending existing abilities into new challenges.

Lessons are available in violin, beginner piano, recorder, and music theory, with a focus on fostering confidence, creativity, and a lifelong enjoyment of music.

What I offer

In-Person Lessons:

Private lessons for students enrolled at Orana School (during school hours)

Online Lessons (Supplemental Option):
While my core teaching is based around in-person lessons, I also offer a supplemental online option. Students can submit recorded practice or performance videos, and I provide detailed video or written feedback. This format allows for flexible support between lessons and can be especially helpful for consolidating skills, preparing for performances, or addressing specific technical challenges.
Please note: online feedback lessons are intended to complement in-person tuition, rather than serve as a full replacement.

My Teaching Philosophy

Curiosity and Creativity
I use a variety of teaching methods to inspire students to explore music and enjoy the learning journey. I encourage them to try new approaches, discover their unique strengths, and embrace challenges as opportunities for growth.

Practicality
Clear feedback and hands-on demonstration are central to my teaching approach. Together with each student, I strive to balance reinforcing foundational skills with extending new challenges, creating a supportive environment that nurtures musical development.

Adaptability
Every student learns differently, so I tailor my teaching to individual needs. By introducing diverse strategies and varied repertoire, I help deepen technical skills and broaden musical experience, fostering both improvement and a lifelong positive relationship with music.
