Hi! My name is Natalie Schoenborn. I am a violist who studied violin for 10 years before deciding to focus on viola. In other words - I play two instruments but viola is the one I most enjoy performing! I have a Bachelor of Music degree with a double major in Viola Performance and Music Education and have taught both violin and viola lessons for a number of years. I enjoy teaching a wide range of ages and skill levels and aim to meet each of my students where they are to help them reach their goals! No previous musical experience is required for these lessons, though I do teach intermediate and advanced players as well. Please feel free to reach out to me either on Slack or via email (ngschoenborn@gmail.com) if you have any questions about lessons. The cost is $30 per half hour lesson each week or $50 per full hour lesson (due before the start of each lesson). Lessons are individually scheduled with the teacher.
Requirements:
The student must own or be able to rent a violin or viola (please contact the teacher for recommendations if unsure). This instrument must at least be basically maintained (4 strings installed, a working bow, etc.) and regularly tuned at home by the student or parent. - The student must bring sheet music or book(s) to lesson every time and is responsible for purchasing these materials, as needed (the teacher will provide handouts, scale fingerings, etc. but will not provide books and published pieces of music). As a private lesson teacher, I am open to working based on each individual student's interest or out of a book the student has previously used. However, if the student is just beginning my default will be to use Essential Elements Book 1. - The student must either (1) consistently bring a paper notebook to lessons (this is for the teacher or student to take notes) or (2) commit to regularly logging onto a Google Doc to reference the teacher's notes during daily practice time. - Regular, consistent practice is expected (minimum 4-6 days per week). Practice time varies according to the age/level of the student (and the amount of progress desired!). 15 minutes per day for a beginner just starting out is fine, but 30 or more minutes a day is required for all other skill levels. The teacher may request that a practice journal be kept. - If the student is late for a lesson or there is a no-show (missed lesson without communication before the day of the lesson, except in case of dire emergency or unpredictable illness), the cost of the lesson will still be charged and no make-up lesson time will be given.

Description:
Greetings! My name is Summer St. John, I’m nineteen years old and have been learning ASL for five years. I began studying Sign Language after watching a video of a deaf teacher beautifully signing a story on being seen as a deaf person. After that, God gave me a passion to study the language on my own. At fourteen, I took a semester of ASL from a deaf person and fell more in love with the language. I have taught five ASL classes since then, and am currently assistant teaching with my deaf friend Jennifer. I plan to pursue deaf ministry, and look forward to sharing my passion with others through private ASL lessons. I encourage parents to learn and teach their kid
