Welcome!
Whether you're looking for violin, viola, or music theory lessons for yourself or your child, students age 5 and up are accepted. Students younger than 5 should consider a Suzuki program, and I can recommend an excellent teacher in the area.
Prospective students may schedule a FREE Audition Lesson for registration. Students in my studio have majored in music at university, become private teachers themselves, perform professionally or semi-professionally, won auditions for solos, become concertmasters or section leaders of their orchestras, and successfully competed in various youth festivals. As your teacher, I will guide you on a path that you will help determine. I coach orchestras and chamber ensembles, I can help prepare for auditions with orchestras or universities, I frequently teach Celtic fiddle repertoire, transcribe pop music, and am open to pursuing paths beyond the traditional, Classical music foundation.
I began playing violin in a small 5th grade school orchestra in Michigan in 1996. I began private teaching in November of 2002, when a 6th grader approached me after a solo performance I gave in an orchestra concert and requested I "teach [her] to play like that!" I hold Bachelor's degrees in Violin performance and Music Education, and a Master's degree in Violin Performance from Eastern Michigan University. I love to share my passion for music and playing stringed instruments with my students, focusing on healthy technique, overall musical education, and of course, skill level-appropriate repertoire. You can read more about me on my Résumé page.
Samples of my playing will be available on the Mainari Music School YouTube Channel soon, but you can view the Instagram Feed for the school below with pictures and videos of current students and events, updated daily. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to Contact Me, via email or text message being the best way to get a hold of me. If I don't answer a call, please leave me a voicemail and I will get back to you promptly.
Warm regards,
Tasha
