About Joe

My name is Joe, and I want to be honest with you from the start — the violin is challenging.

I'm not going to pretend otherwise, because I think that kind of honesty is actually what sets good teaching apart from great teaching. The students who come to me knowing it'll take real effort are the ones who stick with it. And the ones who stick with it are the ones who end up absolutely astonished by what they can do.

I've been playing violin for most of my life. I've performed in settings that taught me discipline, precision, and expression in equal measure. And somewhere in the middle of all that performing, I realized that the most satisfying moments weren't always on stage — they were in lessons, watching someone finally get something they'd been working toward for weeks.
That's what pulled me toward teaching. And that's what keeps me here.

I work with students at every level — from complete beginners who've never held a bow, to intermediate players who've plateaued and need someone to help them break through, to advanced students preparing for something important. Wherever you are, there's a path forward. I'll help you find it!

Violin lessons with me are structured, focused, and always moving forward.

We start with an honest assessment — not to judge where you are, but to understand it. Because the only way to build a real plan is to know exactly what we're working with. From there, every lesson has clear objectives. You'll always know what we worked on, why it matters, and what to focus on before we meet again.

Technique is non-negotiable here — posture, bow hold, intonation, tone production. Not because I'm rigid about it, but because bad habits on the violin compound over time and I'd rather build things right from the beginning than spend months undoing what went wrong. That said, technique is never taught in isolation. It always connects directly to the music you're learning.

Progress on the violin is real and deeply satisfying when it happens. I've seen students go from scratchy, uncertain sounds to genuinely beautiful playing — and every time, it comes down to the same things: consistency, patience, and the right guidance.

If you're willing to put in the work, I'm willing to put in everything I've got to help you get there.

  • When did you first develop a passion for music and your favorite instrument?

    I developed my passion for music when I was young after my friend gave me his guitar because he was going on a trip. I started by playing few strings and then I quickly discovered that I could make a melody out of it. So I started by learning, and then my friend figured out that I was learning the guitar, so he was kind enough to keep it with me and from there my passion for music developed.
  • Is there a particular type of music or artist that you listen to on a loop without it driving you crazy?

    Classical music is usually something that I can listen to the whole day. I like to use classical music when I'm working and I'm focused. And it's also doesn't have lyrics, so it doesn't make me focus on the lyrics, but rather I can just enjoy the music.
  • Explain to us the most difficult or riveting course you could personally give to a student of music.

    Usually music theory is the hardest thing that I can teach for students because it's too boring and it's hard to see the big picture. And so I try to make my best to teach it in a fun way and make it clear for the students why I'm teaching the music theory. Because it can get tricky sometimes.
  • What do you think is the most complicated instrument to master and why?

    Depending on what complicated means, in terms of actual complication on the instrument side, violin is one of the hardest. But then on the music theory side, you could have guitar, that involves a lot of finger exercises and a lot of theory as well. But if I were to pick one, I would say violin.
  • What are your keys to success?

    I see that across students, that the most successful ones are the ones that stay consistent, dedicated and practice. So I attribute this as the key to success in music.
  • Name three musicians you dream of meeting in your favourite bar in the early hours of the morning. Explain why.

    Mozart, Gary Moore, Aden Foyer. The reason is that this makes the perfect combination of classical music on piano, electric guitar — Gary Moore is known for this, and Aden Foyer for random style songs
  • Provide a valuable anecdote related to music or your days at music school.

    During music school, I once spent days trying to perfect a difficult section of a piece, and the harder I pushed, the more frustrated I became. My teacher told me to stop playing the entire piece and work on only a few notes at a very slow tempo. At first, I thought I was moving backwards, but that small change solved the problem. It taught me that patience and focused practice are often more effective than simply repeating something over and over.
  • What are the little touches that make you a Superprof in music?

    I think that you have to think in the POV of the student. If I understand something, doesn't mean the student understands it. I try to put myself in the student's shoes, ask for feedback, and continue from here
