About Mike
With 9 years of experience as a violin tutor, my journey with the instrument has been both enriching and inspiring. My passion for the violin began early and has driven me to explore various styles and techniques throughout my career. This extensive experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of the violin and the nuances of teaching, allowing me to effectively guide students of all levels, from beginners to advanced players.
My teaching philosophy centers on a personalized approach, recognizing that each student has unique strengths and goals. I tailor my lessons to fit your individual needs, whether you’re learning the basics, working on advanced techniques, or preparing for a performance. My aim is to create a supportive and engaging environment where you feel encouraged to explore and develop your own musical voice.
I place a strong emphasis on both technical skills and musical expression. While mastering bowing techniques and intonation is crucial, I also focus on helping students connect emotionally with their music. This balance of technical proficiency and interpretive skills ensures that you not only play accurately but also convey the depth and character of each piece you perform.
Throughout my career, I have had the pleasure of seeing many students achieve their musical goals, whether it’s performing in ensembles, winning competitions, or simply gaining confidence in their playing. Each success story motivates me to continue refining my teaching methods and finding new ways to inspire my students. My goal is to help you unlock your full potential on the violin and find joy in every note you play.

Our violin lessons are designed to help you achieve a well-rounded mastery of the instrument, regardless of your current level. With 9 years of teaching experience, I provide a structured yet adaptable approach tailored to meet your personal goals. Whether you’re a beginner starting your journey or an advanced player seeking to refine your skills, each lesson is crafted to build on your existing abilities and guide you towards your musical aspirations.
A key focus of our lessons is developing effective bowing techniques. Proper bowing is crucial for producing a rich, expressive sound and mastering control over dynamics and articulation. We’ll work on various bowing exercises to enhance your precision and fluidity, ensuring that you can handle both intricate passages and broad, sweeping strokes with ease. Mastery of these techniques will significantly improve your overall sound quality and performance.
Intonation is another essential area we will address. Playing in tune is fundamental to a successful violin performance, and we’ll work on exercises and ear training to help you develop accurate pitch control. You’ll learn techniques for tuning your instrument and adjusting your pitch during play, which will help you blend seamlessly with other musicians and achieve a more polished sound.
Additionally, our lessons emphasize musical interpretation and expression. Understanding how to convey the emotion and character of a piece is just as important as technical skill. I’ll guide you in exploring dynamics, phrasing, and stylistic nuances to bring your music to life. This holistic approach ensures that you not only play with technical proficiency but also engage deeply with the music, creating memorable and compelling performances.
