About Sonja
I am a professional violinist and violin/viola teacher. I have been playing the violin for over 20 years and I have more than 15 years of experience as a freelance strings teacher and orchestral violinist.
I am an intuitive, compassionate, and energetic mentor to students of all ages and levels. I strive to ignite a passion in my students by helping them find their musical voice and developing the technical skills to successfully play music for their entire lives.
I can help you form a solid foundation of technique though practicing and preparing scales, arpeggios, etudes, and a wide variety of repertoire. You will learn the fundamentals (rhythm, intonation, and tone) which will be applied to all beginning, intermediate, and advanced techniques.
Aside from the technical foundations, I can also help you acquire or work on these life skills:
*Listening, observation, and communication
*Discipline, patience, perseverance, and confidence
*Creativity, problem solving, and collaboration
For intermediate and advanced students, I can offer help with audition preparations for youth orchestras, college auditions, chamber coachings, and collaborations with other musicians.
I have also had the great privilege of teaching students with special needs (autism and Down syndrome) and learning disorders (dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia). I firmly believe that anyone can learn to play an instrument and can learn to appreciate the beauty and power of music.
I absolutely love teaching and I strongly believe that anyone can learn to play an instrument! Learning a new instrument (or continuing your musical journey) simply requires practice, listening, problem solving, discipline, and determination. If you want to learn, you can! I strive to teach every student how to teach themselves.

About the lesson
- All Levels
- English
All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
1. Determine musical background and interests. What would you love to play? What are your favorite genres?
2. Discuss expectations of student and teacher. What are your goals? What do you hope to learn? Do you want performance opportunities?
3. Figure out the best length of time for lessons. Typically beginners and young students do best with 30 minute lessons, while intermediate and more advanced students prefer longer lessons of 45-60 minutes.
I work with students of all ages and levels. I can teach students in elementary, middle, and high school, as well as those at the university level. I have also worked with students with special needs (Autism, Down Syndrome) and learning disorders (dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia).
