About Ian

I offer violin and viola lessons throughout the Inland Empire. I have experience working with students of all ages.

I hold my Bachelor's, Master's, and Artist Diploma in Violin Performance from the Redlands Conservatory.

I have over twenty years of performance experience and am an active musician and teacher in the Redlands and Lake Arrowhead mountain communities. I believe students learn best when the instructor adapts to the student's specific needs.

I emphasize music theory comprehension, musical literacy, and musicianship skills such as ear training.

Watching students grow musically is one of the most satisfying experiences as a teacher. I love working with my students to help them reach their goals and express themselves through music they enjoy. With consistent practice I can help you gain the tools necessary to play anything!

I have studied intenseively throughout the United States and Europe with many great pedagogues and performers such as Sherry Kloss and Sebastian Gurtler of the Hugo Wolf Quartet.

I have been a factuly member for the University of Redlands' String Project for over 6 years. I am a member of the American String Teacher Association (ASTA).

About the lesson

For complete beginners the first step is always to get acquainted with the instrument parts and terms that we will use. From there we can jump into playing and reading via plucking. Depending on the student, this will last an average of two lessons before the bow is introduced.

For more advanced students, or any with enough playing experience, I will have them play a scale and/or perform any piece they know. I will place them in appropriate books and teach on a per student basis.

Ian is very personal and professional. He is always on time. My accuracy in hitting notes has improved along with my speed of play. To be my best I train with the best.

I've always been insecure about my play (especially on my techniques and pitch), but Ian has helped me gain confidence in my skills and performance.

There have been many a times where I have been a terrible student by not practicing. As for any teacher, this may be upsetting but Ian has been super patient with me during my violin lessons and encouraged me to do better.

In terms of skills, Ian is a superb violin player and he's good at teaching.
