Lara M.

Hi, my name is Lara and I am a violinist from Chicago. I have been a student of music for 21 years. My musical influences include classical music and I also enjoy jazz and folk music. My teaching style can best be described as consistent and focused on relaxation and joy. My teaching philosophy can best be described by saying that I want student's to feel free to musically express themselves. In my lessons, you can expect to learn note-reading, rhythmic understanding, and good technique. I like to tell my students the history behind the music they are playing. My favorite thing about teaching is seeing steady student progress from week to week. My favorite performance was Chicago Symphony Orchestra. My students love that I am patient and encouraging. I primarily teach violin, but I can also teach viola. My approach as a teacher is to be fully present with each student. Thanks for taking a look at my profile. Hope to meet you soon!
