About Tess

I’m a violin tutor with over 8 years of experience and a Bachelor of Music in Early Music, specializing in Baroque Violin. My passion lies in teaching folk violin traditions, including Irish, Scottish, and American Old-Time styles. I focus on helping students master ornamentation and rhythmic bowing patterns that bring these traditions to life. I believe in learning by ear, encouraging students to develop a strong musical ear alongside technical skills. My lessons use folk jam tracks and drone tuners to support tuning and timing in a fun, immersive way. I tailor instruction around rich repertoire that connects students with cultural history and musical stories. Whether you’re new to folk fiddle or looking to deepen your skills, I guide you through authentic sounds and techniques. My teaching style is patient and engaging, making complex rhythms and ornaments approachable. I love sharing the joy of folk music and its vibrant traditions with every student. Join me to explore the violin through the rich sounds of these timeless cultures. Let’s bring tradition into your playing and make music that resonates deeply.

About the lesson

My teaching approach focuses on developing strong bowing control, accurate intonation, and rich tone quality. I emphasize musical expression and proper posture to help students play comfortably and beautifully. Lessons are tailored to support those who enjoy singing along or love group playing, guiding them to improve their violin skills confidently.

I break down complex techniques into simple, manageable steps to build steady progress. We work on listening carefully to develop pitch accuracy and tone matching. Bowing exercises help students gain control and smoothness in their playing.

I encourage expressive playing by exploring dynamics and phrasing, making music come alive. Posture and hand position are carefully reviewed to prevent strain and improve sound. I use clear explanations and gentle feedback to boost confidence and enjoyment.

Whether you want to join a group or play solo, I support your goals with patient guidance and practical exercises. My lessons create a positive space where progress and fun go hand in hand. Together, we make every practice session rewarding.
