About Tessa

For over 7 years, I’ve guided violinists to grow both technically and creatively. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Orchestral Studies and served as Violin Section Leader, an experience that gave me leadership and performance expertise. My teaching approach integrates modern tools to make progress clear and exciting. I use slow-down apps, DAWs, MIDI notation, and video feedback to help students refine every detail. Many lessons involve recording violin parts for original songs or favorite covers. I’m passionate about bringing the violin into genres like Jazz, Rock, and Indie Folk. Improvisation is always encouraged, and I help students use it to expand their voice. To make learning more immersive, I design custom backing tracks for practice. My lessons adapt to both traditional learners and creative explorers. I believe every student deserves a balance of solid technique and expressive freedom. Together, we create an environment where growth feels inspiring and fun. The violin can be a tool for innovation as much as tradition. Let’s explore the future of violin learning and record music that reflects your style.

About the lesson

My teaching philosophy for violin blends imagination with skill. Students learn creative composition, arrangement of known melodies, and the craft of writing original music. Non-traditional sounds are also explored, showing that the violin has infinite possibilities. Lessons encourage both structure and free exploration. I provide practical steps to turn inspiration into finished music. Improvisation is included to build confidence and spontaneity. The Adult Confidence Builder and The Content Creator thrive under this method. Projects often include recording and reflecting on new pieces. Custom exercises help strengthen technique while keeping creativity alive. Feedback is supportive and designed to nurture growth. Lessons are always tailored to the student’s personal vision. Music becomes more than notes—it becomes self-expression. Each student is guided to shape their own journey. Together, we’ll compose your own violin story.
