Best 16 coaches for lessons near Lincoln, NE

Music has shaped every aspect of my life since early childhood. From the moment I first held a violin, I understood that music is not only a language of sound, but a way of connecting souls and building discipline, creativity, and emotional intelligence. My philosophy as an educator is rooted in the belief that every student, regardless of age or skill level, possesses a unique musical voice waiting to be nurtured. My mission is to guide each of them toward discovering that voice through inspiration, respect, and structured artistic growth. Throughout my professional journey—as a soloist, concertmaster, and mentor—I have learned that technical mastery and emotional expression must develop together. In my classroom, I emphasize the balance between precision and passion: scales and etudes coexist with expressive phrasing, listening, and ensemble collaboration. I encourage students to set high standards, yet to approach challenges with curiosity and patience. Mistakes are treated not as failures but as opportunities to refine understanding and resilience.

Every week I feel myself improving. I never thought I’d enjoy learning the violin this much. Highly recommend!”
