About Alexa

With a PhD in Music Education specializing in violin, I bring over 15 years of teaching experience to my role as a violin and viola instructor. My background includes extensive training in both classical and jazz genres, equipping me with a versatile approach to music education. I am passionate about helping students of all levels—whether they are beginners, intermediate players, or advanced musicians—achieve their full potential and enjoy their musical journey.

My teaching philosophy is rooted in a commitment to developing both technical skills and artistic expression. I focus on providing personalized instruction that addresses each student's unique needs and goals. Whether a student aims to master classical techniques, explore jazz improvisation, or simply improve their overall technique, I tailor lessons to ensure they receive the most relevant and effective guidance.

In addition to technical training, I emphasize the importance of performance skills and confidence-building. I encourage students to participate in recitals and informal performances to gain valuable experience and overcome performance anxiety. This practical experience helps students build stage presence and learn to convey their musical ideas with confidence and clarity.

My dedication to teaching is driven by a genuine passion for music and a desire to inspire and support my students. I continually seek to enhance my teaching methods and stay current with developments in music education. Through a supportive and engaging approach, I aim to help each student achieve their musical goals, develop their unique voice, and find joy in the art of playing the violin and viola.

About the lesson

Violin lessons are structured to develop both technical proficiency and artistic expression, catering to a wide range of skill levels and musical interests. Each session typically begins with essential warm-up exercises that focus on posture, finger technique, and bowing skills. These foundational exercises are crucial for building a solid technical base, which supports more advanced playing. As students progress, we delve into various aspects of violin technique, including vibrato, shifting, and dynamics, tailored to their individual needs and goals.

A significant part of the lessons involves working on selected repertoire, which helps students apply their technical skills in a musical context. Whether focusing on classical compositions or exploring jazz improvisation, students are encouraged to interpret pieces with both technical precision and personal expression. We work on understanding musical phrases, dynamics, and emotional expression, enhancing students' ability to convey their artistic vision through their playing.

In addition to technical and interpretive training, the lessons emphasize the importance of performance skills and confidence-building. Students are encouraged to participate in recitals or informal performances to gain valuable stage experience and overcome performance anxiety. This hands-on experience helps students develop stage presence and learn to handle various performance scenarios with poise and confidence.

Lessons are personalized to fit each student’s unique learning style and objectives, whether they are beginners, intermediate players, or advanced musicians. By adapting to different levels and goals, I ensure that the instruction remains engaging and relevant. My aim is to create a supportive and motivating environment where students can achieve their musical aspirations, improve their technique, and enjoy the process of learning and performing on the violin.
