About Laena

Laena Batchelder is a violin and viola teacher in the Boulder/Denver metro area. She teaches students of any level privately at her home in Broomfield or online over Zoom. She is currently pursuing a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Violin Performance at the University of Colorado Boulder. She has experience with orchestral and solo performing, but she loves chamber music and teaching most. Both of these pursuits highlight the collaborative aspect of music-making which she hopes her students will grow to love as much as she does.

Laena has taught private violin and viola lessons in a variety of settings from a public middle school to various community music programs in both the Dallas/Fort Worth and Boulder metro areas. Her students have performed in recitals, won awards at Solo and Ensemble competitions, and participated in local youth ensembles. Laena's teaching draws on her Suzuki background as well as a variety of other methods and philosophies, emphasizing the joy of music.

Laena is trained in the Suzuki Method through Book 1. While she draws on many methods and her own experience in her teaching, many foundations of the Suzuki Method are important to her. Some of these include strong parental involvement, creating a positive home learning environment, emphasis on listening, often learning pieces by ear, and use of repetition and review.

About the lesson

Laena believes classical music should break out of restraining traditions and canons, so she teaches using concepts from many methods and styles. For beginning and intermediate students, she primarily assigns Suzuki repertoire but supplements with Music by Black Composers by Rachel Barton Pine, the Barbara Barber method books, popular music she arranges, and other pedagogical materials. She guides advanced students to choose repertoire both within and outside of the traditional classical canon.
