Watch pre-recorded video lessons then get personalised support by booking a lesson or uploading a video for me to watch.
I am a qualified Suzuki teacher with over 20 years of experience. I provide professional quality pre-recorded video lessons, real-time webcam lessons, in-person lessons (in Motueka, New Zealand) and feedback on your video uploads.
The progress Jesse and Rose have made since they have had lessons with you is nothing short of amazing. They have renewed enthusiasm for the violin and are visibly enjoying themselves as they practice and learn. Well done for inspiring their love of the instrument!
Every parent wants the best for their child and in terms of music, this often means Suzuki method lessons.I teach in-person lessons in Motueka (New Zealand) and online by webcam. I also provide pre-recorded video lessons for my students to watch at home.
If you don't have access to a local Suzuki teacher, you can do lessons with me from your home. You can watch the pre-recorded video lessons, take individual lessons with me via webcam and upload videos of your playing so I can send you suggestions and feedback.
Learning to play a musical instrument takes time. Your involvement in your child's music practice greatly increases their chances of success. You need no previous experience to guide your child through their lessons. My goal is not just to enable your child to learn music, but also to support you in your role as their guide.
Suzuki music lessons don't just involve learning the notes. Like any good music lessons they also involve refining posture and tone so that you can play music beautifully. Suzuki lessons are a wholistic approach that help children develop many life skills through music.
Through this website I want to make Suzuki method music lessons accessible to many more people, with the convenience of time and location flexibility.
How does it work?
I teach using the pieces from the Suzuki Method books. The books and CDs can be bought in my online shop or from most music shops.
You can use just the video lessons on this website without any teacher but most people find more success if they have regular contact with me either with real-time lessons or by uploading videos so I can send you feedback and helpful suggestions.
Start by doing a 1-week-free subscription to have a look at the online lessons. If you like what you see then book a free introductory chat with me. To start lessons properly you'll need a paying website subscription, the Suzuki book, CD/mp3s and an instrument to practice on. I hope to meet you soon,
