Study violin, viola, or cello, anytime- and anywhere.
Not every family has the time or access to weekly in-person lessons.
Not every adult learner feels comfortable walking into a music studio after years away from their instrument.
But everyone deserves the chance to grow as a musician—with support, kindness, and real feedback.
That’s why I created Video Exchange Lessons.
Whether you live in a rural area with no string teachers nearby, or your weeknights are a blur of homework, practice, and dinner on the go—this format lets you or your child get expert, personalized guidance without ever rearranging your life.
Here’s how it works:
🎥 You (or your child) send me a short video of your playing—anything you’re working on: a scale, a solo, a sticky section from orchestra music
📬 I respond within 2 days with a custom teaching video just for you—full of helpful tips, encouragement, and next steps
🌟 You get better. On your time. In your space. Without the stress.
No rushing to lessons.
No Zoom fatigue.
No feeling behind because life got busy.
Just honest support from a teacher who believes in meeting students where they are—and helping them grow with joy.
