Private and Group LESSONS IN VIOLIN, VIOLA, OR FIDDLE

Photo by Frank Sommers

Not your typical violin teacher!

I live in the Madison, Wisconsin area and I teach beginning to intermediate level Classical violin and viola and beginning to advanced Irish fiddle. During my varied career, I have experimented with alternative styles as diverse as Bluegrass, Swedish folk, and Classic Rock and I'd love to share my knowledge with you about: 

  • writing tunes, harmonizing, and arranging
  • ear-training, transcribing, and sight-reading
  • playing in a group, understanding lead sheets, and using sound equipment
  • and more!

Creativity, Consistency, and Compassion

These are the three main qualities I aim to instill in each of my students. Music is an expressive medium and I encourage composing, improvising, and embracing (in the words of Bob Ross) "happy accidents". One can only create if they have a certain level of skill, and that is gained through consistent repetition and reflection while practicing. Above all, I believe everyone deserves compassion as we struggle through the difficult times; a kind word from a peer sometimes makes all the difference.

What Can I expect?

I can offer you:

Multi-faceted expertise

  • Over 20 years of experience teaching 4 year-olds up through adults
  • Trained in the Suzuki method, both as a student and as a teacher
  • Award-winning member of the worldwide Irish music community
  • Knowledgeable guidance when choosing or assessing repairs on an instrument


A technology-aided approach

  • Notes during the lesson, then shared digitally via Google Drive
  • Assistance with general audio, video, and video conferencing issues
  • Suggestions for tried-and-true apps and programs for learning, writing, and recording music


Tenacious creativity

  • Unique approaches (visual, aural, tactile, verbal, numeric, etc.)  when difficulties arise
  • Relentless optimism and my best effort
  • Availability for questions between lessons through phone, text, and email
