ABOUT CHRISTINA

I have been teaching piano and violin (and thoroughly enjoying it) for over 25 yrs. I’ve taught all ages, from 4 yrs to adult. My core of instruction includes: strong note reading (up to playing ability), technique/music theory, improvisation, playing by ear, reading chord charts, transposition, exploring different genres, and a dash of Music Appreciation.

I use a few favorite methods and always tailor the lessons and materials to best fit each student’s needs and learning style. My goal is to give them all the tools they need to succeed and keep them inspired as they learn to read, play, interpret, and express themselves. These combined with a positive and encouraging learning environment help the student to build confidence and self-discipline and a love for music.
