About Clete

I have been teaching violin for 60 years, and I teach students from beginners to very advanced. I also specialize in teaching adult students. I teach online (only) using Zoom, so it doesn't matter where you live. I teach a standard curriculum of materials.

I began to teach about four years after leaving college.  I just wanted to help others learn the instrument I enjoy.



I have a Bachelor's degree in Violin Performance from the University of Arizona in Tucson.  I have also studied locally at the American Conservatory, Roosevelt University, and Northern Illinois University.

It depends on the student, as I teach students from beginners to advanced.  With a beginner, I start them learning the proper way to hold the instrument and bow, and begin teaching them to read music.  If the student has some experience on the instrument, I ask them to play something of their choice so I can assess their abilities, and let me know where to begin with them.



Everyone from raw beginners to very advanced students, and specializing in adults.



Pick a teacher who is interested in your progress, and not just in collecting your money.  Pick a teacher that gives you a well rounded musical education in music theory, music history, and performance techniques as well as the basic education of playing the instrument well.



A ten year old student of mine just performed the J. S. Bach Concerto in A minor for violin, and did really well!



A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Well, first, are we talking about a child student, or an adult?  The parent, or the adult student, should try to decide:

1. What is my goal in music?

2. Where does my interest lie in music? Classical, pops, folk?

3. Am I willing to practice (or help my child to) in order to meet my goal?  Nothing in music comes free of work! The violin is a difficult instrument.

4. If you don't have an instrument, always rent for the first year. Never buy a small size instrument for a child, always rent.  They will quickly grow out of it and need the next size up.  Think "shoes"!
