Theory and Practice
At 9StepViolin, my teaching practice is founded on a comprehensive daily routine of 9 steps, designed to progressively enhance your skills and understanding of the violin. Each lesson is part of a 9-week cycle tailored to your unique learning style and progress.
Flexible Teaching Methods
I offer lessons both online via Google Hangouts and in-person on Hawaii's Big Island, accommodating your schedule and preferences. While travel fees apply for in-person sessions, my curriculum is optimally designed to deliver exceptional learning experiences, both virtually and face-to-face.
Attendance & Billing Policies
Lessons are billed quarterly, encouraging a committed learning journey. Missed sessions are non-refundable, and punctuality is essential. However, I ensure that every scheduled lesson, attended or not, receives detailed feedback on journal entries to maximize your progress.
