About Kelly
I am a violin tutor with over 9 years of experience and hold a Bachelor of Arts in Music with a Violin emphasis. My background includes solo, chamber, and orchestral performance, which informs my teaching and performance coaching. I focus on building technical skill, musical expression, and confident stage presence in every student. I guide learners through audition preparation, advanced repertoire interpretation, and performance strategies for competitions and recitals. Lessons are tailored to individual goals, whether for high school performers, conservatory students, or competition entrants. I emphasize precision, musicality, and expressive phrasing, helping students convey the emotional depth of each piece. My approach combines technical exercises, repertoire study, and performance practice to ensure steady progress. I work on tone production, bow control, intonation, and stylistic awareness, integrating musical theory with hands-on application. Students also develop confidence in ensemble settings and solo performances alike. I encourage curiosity, creativity, and personal interpretation while maintaining high standards of artistry. My goal is to help learners reach the next level of musical excellence and achieve their full potential. Playing the violin becomes not just a skill, but a rewarding and expressive journey.

My violin teaching methodology emphasizes physical awareness, mental focus, and flowing musical expression. I guide students in proper breathing while playing, relaxed left-hand technique, and smooth, controlled bowing. Lessons focus on visualizing music patterns to internalize phrasing and dynamics.
I prioritize healthy practice habits to prevent strain and promote long-term comfort at the instrument. Students learn to approach challenging passages with calm focus and efficient technique. I encourage imaginative learning, connecting musical ideas to personal expression and storytelling.
For those who value emotional safety and confidence, I create a supportive environment where exploration is encouraged. I help learners set achievable goals and track progress, fostering steady growth. Each lesson balances technical precision with expressive freedom, reinforcing both skill and artistry.
I integrate exercises that promote physical ease, mental clarity, and rhythmic stability. Students develop awareness of posture, tension, and movement while maintaining musical flow. Together, we cultivate a holistic approach to violin playing that combines mindfulness, creativity, and technical mastery.
