Mary L.

I am a composer and musician, trained at the College of Charleston in Music Theory and Composition. I started teaching in 2019, doing group piano lessons for a tiny rock school in Charleston SC. Since then, I've been privileged to expand my teaching expertise to my primary instrument, violin, as well as beginning piano and guitar technique, and music theory lessons. I work hard to ensure every lesson is tailored to my student's learning style and skill level, and emphasize building good practice habits. In my experience, these habits are more important than any raw talent, and will guarantee a rewarding musical experience for students of any skill-level. Be your interest folk, rock, or classical, I've got your bases covered! I have a wide background in numerous genres, and frequently teach workshops in world music styles. Additionally, I teach composition at a variety of levels. If you have experience in composing, or are looking for a good starting point, I am happy to provide that!
