Introduction

Victoria is a classically trained violinist and cellist specializing in helping teens and adults fill in the gaps in their technique to achieve their goals and accomplish a sense of mastery of their instrument. Throughout her 14 years of teaching, she has kept lessons entertaining yet informative with a supportive approach. With Victoria’s attention to detail and a precise awareness of the physical comfort of instrument set-up, she makes sure her students are properly aligned which helps technique and ease of playing. Her expert knowledge in classical solo, chamber, and orchestral repertoire allows her to provide a contextual reference of playing style and time period. Victoria has extensive experience performing in orchestras, solo recitals, and wedding ceremonies, and as a chamber musician and recording violinist for film scores. Her local students have been known to earn top chairs in their school and extracurricular orchestras.

Victoria teaches my 10-year-old daughter violin and piano. They bonded immediately, and my daughter absolutely loves Victoria and her lessons. She was previously taking piano with a different instructor, and she feels that Victoria has helped her advance so much more than her prior instructor. My daughter started from scratch with the violin, and it’s amazing how much she has learned in a year. Victoria even has the patience to give my 4-year-old violin lessons since she wants to be like her big sister. Victoria gives tons of positive reinforcement, keeps things fun, helps kids learn the right techniques from the beginning, and is a true professional with a passion for music and helping her students develop. We feel very lucky to have found her!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My studio operates on a monthly payment basis for lessons, and packages for short-term coaching.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The process is so different with everyone, as everyone's experiences and needs are unique. Ultimately, understanding your history, identifying your goal, and then forming an action plan applies to everyone. Working as a team with trust and understanding is the only way to achieve success.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have 18 years of playing experience and 13 years of teaching experience. With teaching, I've seen it all. I have helped my students overcome their challenges and hurdles, getting to their goals so much quicker than they imagined was possible. I tend to see the hidden details that others do not pick up on, which is often the missing piece when someone is "stuck." I love the process as we encounter many breakthroughs.
