Violin and Fiddle Lessons

www.oliviabarrettmusic.com Are you looking for violin and/or fiddle lessons for yourself or for your child? Is it important to you that a potential instructor be professional, experienced, qualified, fun-loving, and enthusiastic? I am a qualified violin and fiddle teacher welcoming new students to my studio. I have been teaching violin and fiddle lessons over seven years to students of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. I hold a Bachelor of Music, a Bachelor of Music Education and an M.A. in Irish Traditional Music Performance.I have taught private and group lessons on both coasts of Canada for many years, and I have been an instructor at the renowned Salt Spring Fiddle Camp for three years. I teach many styles of violin and fiddle music, including Classical, Celtic, Irish, Scottish, Cape Breton, Scandinavian, Old Time, and West Coast styles. I look forward to working with students of all ages and abilities in the environment that works best for them. Pacing, atmosphere, and a sense of humour are all important aspects of successful music lessons, and I like to discuss with students (and parents) as to what their goals are in our lessons. I am a professional working musician, and I love to share my knowledge with students in a way that encourages and motivates them. Classical, fiddle, music theory, and reading music are all possible elements of lessons, as well as learning fun tunes to show off to family and friends. Past and current students have enjoyed my easygoing yet focused approach, and my sense of humour. I teach from my home near Uptown.
