Introduction: I’m everything Violin. Performer, teacher, appraiser, with sales and consignments. I’m learning basic repair and setup. I’m a master improviser and can sit in with practically any group or genre. As a teacher, I have extreme patience and have been sought out by students with special needs. I teach lots of music theory with my lessons so you learn how to be a better musician, not just a better player. This way it makes it easier to learn how to play other instruments. I’m a performance expert and concentrate on concert etiquette, classical technique, and posture. It’s fulfilling. I feel part of the larger tradition of the violin world. I enjoy teaching. We are here to have fun and learn how to be better humans. Plus I get to play lots of concerts and get paid for what I love to do. Music is something that you can always fall back on in times of struggle. Nietzsche said, “Life without Music is a Mistake!” It’s the best!

Mr. Violin has been teaching my 13 year-old son violin for 4 years give or take. He’s great. He’s exercises lots of patience. He provides variety in lessons, squeezing a lot in one lesson. My son learns scales, classics, and other songs based off his interests and familiarity. He’s always very pleasant. You can tell he enjoys what he does.

As a professional musician (guitar and vocals) that does not read music, I have had a few lessons with this guy to help with my reading of music, theory, and soloing. He presents everything to me in a very understandable manner and exudes the utmost patience in getting me to the next level. I have never had music lessons before so this seemed daunting at first but now I have broken through long standing plateaus and I am reinvigorated to push myself to the next level. I will definitely be continuing this approach with Mr violin in the future.

Violin Lessons (for children or teenagers)

Adam walked us through the entire process of figuring out which instrument to rent for each child (I didn't realize there are different sizes of the same instruments) and he was easy with setting up lesson times. Four of my kids are his students. They really love him.
