Take violin, viola, or cello lessons online from the comfort of your own home
Whether you have never picked up a stringed instrument before, or are looking to advance your skills, I can help you make beautiful music on your violin or start learning viola or cello. I teach traditional-method (learning to read and produce music at the same time) in the classical style for beginning and intermediate students of all ages.

What do I need for my first lesson?Students should have:
- their own instrument and bow. I can assist with finding a quality student instrument to rent or purchase. - rosin - a music stand - a shoulder rest (for violin and viola); end-pin stop for cello - an instrument case - a tuner - a notebook and pencil - a method book. If you already have a preferred method book, I am happy to continue with you. If you have not worked with a teacher before, we can discuss this before your first lesson to find the book that best suits your needs. There are many choices when it comes to method books. I have worked with: the All for Strings Series, String Builder Series, Essential Elements Series, and others. I am happy to assist with the selection of any of the above items or additional equipment/teaching aids! |
What to expect at my first lesson?If you have never held a violin, viola, or cello before:
Don't worry! We will discuss the basic parts of the instrument, how it works, how to correctly hold it (and the bow!) and come up with a plan. We may even try and jump in to a few exercises! If you have previously taken lessons: We will discuss what method books and repertoire you have completed already so that I have a sense of your progress. Then we will discuss your goals and create a plan to reach them!

Studio Policy
Students should arrive at each lesson on time prepared. I schedule lessons back-to-back, and am therefore not able to extend your lesson for a late arrival. Your lesson time is dedicated to YOU. I do not schedule other students or engagements during your weekly lesson time. Your purchase of a lesson package holds your time on my calendar. Lessons, therefore, are non-refundable. In the event a cancellation becomes necessary, I am able to credit your payment to your next lesson or reschedule your lesson as long as I have 24-hours notice. Notice of a cancellation with less than 24-hours notice (or a no-show) will incur the full fee.
PURCHASING A LESSON PACKAGE DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU ARE SCHEDULED ON MY CALENDAR (yet)! YOU MUST CONTACT ME TO SCHEDULE YOUR LESSON TIME. Call me at 412-759-8210, or email me at Lisamusicstudio@gmail.com. Let me know if you plan to take lessons online or in person. I can't wait to start working with you!
