I am a violinist with over 20 years of performance experience, originally from Texas. I earned my Bachelor of Music degree from Stephen F. Austin State University in 2020 and relocated to Colorado shortly thereafter. My professional experience includes serving as a conductor for beginner and intermediate orchestras, a private instructor, and an Early Childhood Music Educator. Throughout my career, I have worked with students across a wide age range, from 3 to 13 years old. In my lessons, I incorporate a variety of visual and auditory aids to enhance student learning, including rote playing, colored fingering tapes and charts, as well as rhythmic and melodic clapping and singing exercises. As I embark on a new chapter in my life, I am traveling full-time and offering remote lessons to maintain a connection to my passion for teaching and music. As a teacher, my primary goal is to create an engaging and informative learning experience while fostering a safe and supportive environment for all students. I recognize that making mistakes is an essential part of the learning process, and I celebrate each step of progress. I am committed to supporting students at their individual learning pace and encourage all questions. For a preview of my teaching style, feel free to visit my YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/@KionasStringStudio. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

MusicTeacherNotes is free for students. They have an upgradable option available, called the Gold Plan, but upgrading is not required. I can manage our music lessons whether you use their free account or their Gold account.
MusicTeacherNotes helps music teachers manage their students and helps students learn music faster. By empowering parents and students to get much more out of private music lessons, learning music becomes a better experience for everyone.
