About Kaila
Hello! I'm a violinist and composer based in the Bay Area (California, USA). I've been teaching for over 40 years (though I still feel young!). I accept new students ages 7 and up and any level, including teen and beginning adults. I also love teaching intermediated advanced violinists who want to try out some new directions.
Please note: IF YOU ARE SEEKING LESSONS FOR A CHILD UNDER 15, I ONLY DO IN-PERSON LESSONS in Oakland CA.
I only teach 60 minute lessons.
If you are an adult beginner outside of the San Francisco Bay Area, I highly suggest you find someone in your area to do in-person lessons.
Also, I teach Tuesday-Fridays from 11 a.m.-8 p.m. PST.
I only teach online lessons for intermediate to advanced players.
I don't teach viola or cello.
I approach lessons in a collaborative way--guiding students to improve skills such as tone, intonation, improvisation, reading music, playing ergonomically, music theory and composition, playing back up, musicality and of course playing repertoire itself. I pull from a wide variety of musical styles from folk styles including Balkan, Swedish, Celtic, klezmer, Sephardic to jazz to Western classical music. I enjoy being a bridge between folk musicians who would like to improve their (music) reading/transcribing skills; classical musicians who want to explore folk and fiddle styles and improvising; and everything in between. I'm a violinist but I work with instrumentalists of all stripes, even those without a bow on skills like improvising, composing and effective practicing. I meet you where you are and I believe that encouragement and inspiration go much farther than old-school shame and humiliation! I teach Tuesday-Friday by appointment. Call or text (concealed information) for more information or email me at (concealed information)
I do weekly lessons unless you're an advanced player, and then 2 lessons per month is fine. Many people do 90-minute lessons if they're only coming 2x/month.

I started with Kaila when I was 12 and took lessons from her for 6 years. She rekindled my love for music after getting burnt out with piano. She taught me music from all over the world and allowed me to follow my curiosities while also giving me an excellent foundation in music theory and violin technique. Kaila was an incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgable teacher who I feel so fortunate to have had in my life, I can't recommend her enough!
