About Joel
I’m a violin tutor with over 10 years of experience and a Bachelor of Music in Early Music, specializing in Baroque Violin. My passion lies in teaching folk traditions like Irish, Scottish, American Old-Time, and many others. I focus on ornamentation, rhythmic bowing patterns, and ear-based learning to help students connect deeply with the music’s roots. I use folk jam tracks and drone tuners to create an immersive learning experience that builds both skill and musical intuition. My lessons are repertoire-based, allowing students to explore traditional tunes while developing their technique. I believe learning by ear is essential for capturing the authentic feel of folk music. Whether you’re new to the violin or looking to deepen your folk playing, I tailor lessons to your goals and pace. I encourage students to explore the rich sounds and rhythms of these vibrant cultures. Playing folk violin is not just about notes—it’s about storytelling and tradition. I welcome you to join me on this musical journey, where we bring ancient tunes to life with passion and joy. Let’s discover the beauty of folk violin together.

My violin teaching approach embraces technology to enhance learning and make practice more effective and enjoyable. I use metronome apps to help students develop precise rhythm coordination, while tuning software ensures pitch accuracy every step of the way. Slow-motion video playback is a key tool I rely on for posture review and technique refinement, giving students clear visual feedback they can trust.
Backing tracks add an exciting layer to lessons, allowing players to practice expressive tone matching and build confidence playing along with music. I understand that many students thrive with a mix of structure and creativity, so I tailor lessons to balance technical skills with personal expression. For those who enjoy tech-based learning, these tools provide instant feedback and a deeper connection to their progress.
I encourage emotional connection to music, helping students translate feeling into sound. Whether you seek detailed guidance or a creative outlet, my approach supports your unique learning style. Together, we build strong foundations while exploring the joy of making music. This forward-thinking method keeps lessons fresh and engaging for every level. With technology and personal attention combined, I help you grow as a confident, expressive violinist.
