Denise Holbrook Violin & Piano Studio

Introduction: Active member of the Music Teachers' Association of California. I love teaching and I love performing. I graduated from Brigham Young University with my BM in Violin Performance in 2012. Since graduation I've recorded and performed with various orchestras, rock, pop, and folk music groups. I’ve also followed my husband around to his various medical school locations so I am new to the Redlands area. My goal as a teacher is to help nurture a love for the violin and foster creativity and dedication, whilst helping the student become a confident and self-sufficient musician with excellent technique. Although I didn’t get my degree in piano, I still teach it. I took piano lessons for 15 years. I apply what I’ve learned as practice and performance strategies to the instrument. While I was living in the East Bay I taught piano at 5 different schools. Teaching music is so much fun. One of the best parts of my job is that it doesn't feel like a job. I love watching students grow in confidence as they recognize their progress and how much they have achieved and learned. I believe that music can change lives and can help make the world a better place. Covid-19: Masks are required in lessons, shoes off, and I have a station to sanitize. Flexible sick policy. I also offer remote lessons to more experienced violin players.
