About Tessa
With over 7 years of teaching and a BM in Jazz Violin Studies, I bring a rich performance background in solo, chamber, and orchestral music to my students. My focus is on helping violinists prepare for auditions with clarity, precision, and stage confidence. I work closely with high school performers, conservatory students, and competition entrants who want to reach their full potential. My lessons emphasize the interpretation of advanced repertoire alongside solid technical foundations. I guide learners through bowing strategies, tone production, and phrasing while also preparing them for the pressure of live auditions. Stage presence is a key part of my teaching, as I believe confidence is as important as skill. Students gain tools not only for playing the notes but for expressing themselves fully on stage. Each session is tailored to highlight individual strengths while addressing specific challenges. I provide practical practice routines, performance simulations, and feedback that sharpen results. Over the years, I’ve helped many students succeed in auditions for youth orchestras and conservatories. My goal is to build performers who can deliver their best even under pressure. If you’re ready to perform with excellence and reach your audition dreams, I’d be honored to support your journey.

When teaching violin, I focus on both solid technique and personal creativity. Students learn scales and bowing, but also how to create something original with their instrument. I help learners arrange melodies, compose new works, and explore fresh soundscapes. Improvisation and non-traditional approaches are welcome in my lessons. I believe that playing music should feel alive and connected to your own voice. For adults seeking confidence, I make the process uplifting and supportive. For creators, I design lessons that turn ideas into finished pieces. Each class is structured yet open, balancing discipline with freedom. I encourage exploration while giving tools to stay focused and grow. We use exercises that connect imagination with technical skills. Students leave each lesson with more confidence in their artistry. The violin becomes not just an instrument, but a partner in creativity. Let’s work together to compose your unique violin journey.
