About Holly
I have spent over three years helping violinists build a deep and highly complete relationship with their instrument. I hold a Graduate Diploma in Violin Pedagogy, which means I have studied the absolute best ways to teach the violin. In my lessons, I integrate music theory, aural skills, and sight reading directly into our weekly physical practice sessions.
This comprehensive approach is incredibly helpful for students preparing for music theory exams or wanting an advanced understanding of harmony. I teach scales, intervals, and harmony by turning them into practical bowing and fingering exercises on the fingerboard. I work frequently with formal music exam candidates and students who want to strengthen their overall musical fluency.
For instance, I recently taught an intermediate student who felt completely overwhelmed by their upcoming state theory exam. We took their violin solo and analyzed the chords by playing the intervals directly instead of just writing them on worksheets. They easily passed the exam because they could actually hear and feel the harmony under their fingers.
I believe that a strong theoretical foundation makes you a much more confident and expressive player. We will work together at your own comfortable pace to unlock your true musical potential. Join me today, and you will become a well-rounded and confident violinist with strong theoretical knowledge.

My teaching methodology focuses on building a strong foundation for expressive bowing so you can play with real emotion. We will study essential bowing techniques, achieving a rich tone, dynamic control, and key bowing strokes like detache, spiccato, and legato. This physical approach is wonderful for people who love to sing in private or perform in local vocal ensembles.
I offer highly dedicated exercises to help you gain perfect control of your bow arm and transform your sound. For example, I recently worked with a choir singer who wanted to learn the violin but kept making a harsh scratching noise when they played. We worked on relaxing their right shoulder and practiced slow, steady downbows to match the breathing patterns they used in choir.
Within a few weeks, their arm tension completely disappeared, and they were producing a beautiful, warm sound. I am fully committed to supporting you in excelling so you can make your violin sound like a natural singing voice. We will practice simple, daily coordination drills to make your movements smooth and relaxed.
We will explore how small changes in bow speed can completely alter the mood of your music. Every exercise we do is designed to give you total control over your instrument. You will produce beautiful violin sounds that you can share confidently with others.
