Private Lessons for Adult Learners

When I mention that I’m a violinist, I often hear,
"I used to play in middle school, but it was tough, so I quit. I wish I had kept going."

I teach with the mindset that it’s never too late to start— or start again, and that making music is an experience that everyone should get to enjoy no matter your age.

Connect with Your Musical Soul

“Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music.”

-John Williams

All levels welcome!

Whether you’re a total beginner or an experienced violinist, my lessons will both help you improve your playing and your joy through the development of a solid foundation of both right and left hand technique and attention to musicality.

“Julie is a fabulous teacher—patient, flexible, funny, and just the right kind of stickler for technique, which I really need and respect. It’s amazing that she works just as well with adults as with kids. The remote lessons are key for me and allow me to fit lessons into my busy schedule without the extra schlep. 10/10 recommend!”
