Hello! I am a recent SIUE graduate looking for private violin/viola students in the Edwardsville/Glen Carbon area. I hold a Bachelor’s of Music in Violin Performance, and I have 17 years playing experience and 2 1/2 years teaching experience, both in private and group settings. I am Suzuki certified through violin book 8, and use this as well as a lot of other supplemental material in my lessons. I accept students aged 4 and older (adults are welcome too!) and can teach you or your child even if you are a complete beginner! I teach students of all levels up through high school for violin, and I teach beginners through Suzuki Book 3 for viola (at which point I will recommend a violist for your next teacher). Additionally, I specialize in teaching neurodivergent children (autism, ADHD, etc).
My rates are as follows:
$30 for a 30 minute lesson
$45 for a 45 minute lesson
$60 for a 60 minute lesson
I offer a free trial 20 minute lesson (one per student). I am located in downtown Edwardsville, just down the street from Lincoln Middle School. I teach primarily on Thursday afternoons and during the weekends. I also teach at the Webster University Community Music School on other weekdays, so if you are in the STL area you can register through them!
Thank you for your interest, and I hope to hear from you soon!
