Welcome

Welcome to the Danielson Violin and Viola Studio Website!  Music has been a great joy in my life and sharing that joy with others through teaching is an exceptional honor and opportunity.   Our older son, Chris Danielson, is a violinist-software developer and owner of monkeyprism.com., living in Poway, CA.   Our younger son, Nic Danielson, is a pianist, composer, sound engineer living in the Seattle area.  My husband, Mike,  is a materials-scientist and luthier turned amateur cellist. 

I teach beginning students using the Suzuki Approach mixed with reading.  I also have several students who come from their school
orchestra programs to study privately.   I like to help students develop their tone with good pitch and bowing techniques.  I use traditional etude studies, Sevcik exercises, Yost exercises, and scale studies.  The students develop their musicianship through the Suzuki repertoire as well as other solo pieces.

Right now, the studio includes beginners (age 6, the youngest) up through high school seniors and adults.  Students who practice have a number of opportunities to perform. See
Performance for more information.  Pieces being studied right now include:  Concertos by Mozart, Tartini, Bruch, Viotti, deBeriot, Reiding, Huber and Vivaldi, as well as incidental solo pieces.

Please look around this site for further information.  This site is periodically updated to include current calendar dates.
