About Opal
I am a violin tutor with over 8 years of teaching experience and a Bachelor of Arts in Music, specializing in violin performance. My background spans solo recitals, chamber ensembles, and full orchestral performances, giving me a well-rounded perspective on musicianship. I work closely with students to develop confident stage presence and polished performance skills. Audition preparation is a key focus, helping students approach each opportunity with precision and poise. I guide learners through the interpretation of advanced repertoire, emphasizing musicality, phrasing, and expressive nuance. My students range from high school performers to conservatory applicants and competition entrants. Each lesson is tailored to meet individual goals while challenging them to grow technically and artistically. I provide strategies for overcoming performance anxiety and refining technique under pressure. I believe in combining disciplined practice with inspired playing, helping students connect deeply with their music. My teaching encourages both skill-building and personal expression. Together, we set achievable milestones and celebrate every progress. I am dedicated to helping each student reach the next level of musical excellence.

Every student’s violin journey begins with a story, and I love helping them write theirs. Some arrive struggling with posture, their arms tense and uncomfortable. Together, we explore simple adjustments, guiding the bow hand and correcting the hold so music flows naturally. Weak intonation can feel frustrating, like chasing notes that never settle—but with patient scale practice and careful listening, confidence grows. I encourage students to explore expressive dynamics, turning simple melodies into heartfelt stories. For those who need structure, I introduce step-by-step exercises that build skill without overwhelming. Students eager for expression learn to convey emotion through phrasing and articulation. I celebrate small victories, whether a smooth shift, a clean passage, or a perfectly held note. Motivation sometimes wavers, so I weave fun, achievable challenges into every lesson. Advanced learners find opportunities to accelerate, tackling complex pieces while maintaining solid technique. I show how discipline and creativity can coexist, making practice both productive and inspiring. By combining technical guidance, personal encouragement, and musical storytelling, I help students transform struggles into strengths. Each lesson becomes a journey, and every note played is progress worth celebrating.
