About Violin Lessons with Jared MacFarlane
I love teaching the violin and watching students grow in their musical ability and creative expression. I enjoy connecting with all kinds of people and patiently encouraging them to develop a love of music in their life and home. I teach violin students of all ages from no experience to beginning, intermediate and advanced levels. I strive for greater playing ability in a nurturing environment while always making a beautiful sound. My music education focuses the student through immersion, encouragement, small steps, and an unforced timetable for learning material based on each student's development and ability to imitate examples and internalize principles. Regular consistent practice is required and parent involvement is encouraged for younger students. Reviewing material, position, intonation, and bow techniques to always make a beautiful sound is of primary importance. I start with the Suzuki method. I've recorded violin for many studio sessions including Barcelona's album "Absolutes", Rosie Thomas "These Friends of Mine", Courtney Marie Andrews "No One's Slate is Clean". I've performed live with Michael W Smith and contributed violin for Macklemore's "Can't Hold Us" music video.

I am glad I choose Jared as my daughter's first violin teacher. Very professional on teaching young kid.
I am re-learning the violin after 40 years of not playing. i also have disabilities. Jared is very patient and knowledgeable and works around my disabilities. and he has a way of making lessons fun. i would absolutely recommend Jared if you are looking for a good teacher.
We’re off to a great start and a change of pace with style and music selection.
Jared is an awesome teacher, happy that I found him. Absolutely recommended!
I have had violin lessons with Jared for almost 4 months now. I have some basics in violin but had not played for 17 years. Jared helped me to get back to playing pretty fast. His technique is great and the teaching is pleasant. He makes the learning fun. He is also very patient and flexible with my busy work schedule. Thanks!!!
