About Zelie
I am a violin tutor with over 8 years of experience and hold an Associate of Music in String Performance, specializing in violin. My passion lies in Nordic folk violin traditions, including Norwegian Fiddle, Swedish Fiddle, and Klezmer music. I love teaching the unique ornamentation and rhythmic bowing patterns that make these styles so vibrant and expressive. My lessons focus heavily on ear-based learning, helping students develop a natural feel for the music. I often use folk jam tracks and drone tuners to create an immersive learning environment. Repertoire-based instruction allows students to connect deeply with traditional tunes and play authentically. I believe that learning violin through these rich cultural sounds opens up a world of musical storytelling. Each lesson is an opportunity to explore history and heritage while building strong technical skills. I enjoy guiding students as they discover the joy of folk music and its expressive possibilities. Whether you are new to violin or looking to expand your style, I’m here to support your journey. Together, we will bring the soulful sounds of Nordic and Klezmer traditions to life. Come join me and experience the magic of violin through culture and tradition.

My teaching approach focuses on helping students develop a natural and expressive vibrato on the violin. I guide learners through controlling both the speed and width of their vibrato to create beautiful, nuanced sounds. Vibrato is not just a technique but a powerful tool for emotional phrasing, and I help students apply it thoughtfully to enhance their music.
Lessons include step-by-step exercises tailored to each student's needs, ensuring steady progress without strain. I provide clear and consistent feedback, encouraging patience and mindfulness throughout the learning process. My approach is especially effective for The Voice Actor and The Adult Confidence Builder, as vibrato adds warmth and depth to their performances.
I emphasize the importance of relaxed hand positioning and breathing to maintain control and prevent tension. Together, we work on integrating vibrato smoothly into different styles and musical passages. This allows you to communicate emotion with authenticity and power.
With focused practice and guidance, you'll gain confidence in this essential skill. I support you every step of the way to master vibrato and bring your playing to life. Let’s add emotional depth to your music and make your violin sing with feeling.
