About
Kristen: |
I've been playing the violin for 14 years. I'm classically trained, but have also had some fiddle training and have spent a summer in India studying music, too. I studied and performed at Miami University in Ohio, where I earned a minor in Violin Performance, and I now perform with the Evanston Symphony Orchestra.
I believe in creating a musical foundation of classical performance and technique, but am always excited to support students who are interested in branching out to other styles, too. I believe in meeting a student's interests and needs. This means that I strive for students to enjoy lessons, to know that they are improving, to be challenged by the instrument, and to be playing the music that will help them the most in light of their goals as a violinist. I am open to teaching all ages, from 5 years old and up.
I've tutored a few violin students through high school, and am now expanding my studio.
Additionally, I previously worked doing violin repair and bow rehairs in a violin shop through high school and independently through college. Consequently, I am able to offer my students affordable and convenient repairs. In those instances where I do not have the means to repair an instrument, I am more than capable at diagnosing the problem and offering advise. |

I tutored a couple of violin students through high school (beginner and intermediate), have not been able to while at university, and would like to begin teaching again. I am able to teach both children and adults (ages 5 and up), and can teach beginner through advanced lessons.
