Private Lessons

As a teacher, Christine believes in a holistic approach to learning music. Her teaching philosophy is strongly influenced by traditional music in Ireland, Suzuki Pedagogy, Dalcroze Eurhythmics, and free improvisation. Lessons are uniquely crafted to the interests and learning style of the student.

Christine currently teaches private students in Irish traditional fiddle, Suzuki violin/viola, traditional violin/viola, and music composition. She is well versed in teaching young beginners, weaving together a strong classical foundation with their first Irish traditional fiddle tunes. She has taught students ages 3 - 86, as well as students with a range of behavioral, emotional, and physical ability.

Instruction is available on the following instruments, areas of interest, and styles:

  • Irish Traditional Fiddle

  • New England (Contra) Fiddle

  • Suzuki Violin and Viola

  • Classical Violin and Viola (traditional method)

  • Music Composition (classical, folk, songwriting, and more…)

  • Music Theory

“Christine Hedden is an amazing teacher with a unique teaching philosophy that holistically considers all aspects of each student artist. Not only is she captivating and incredibly talented as a stage performer and composer, she is passionate and driven to reach students of all ages and backgrounds. She is generous, warm, and nurturing every step of the way. Christine patiently trained me for years to help achieve my life dream of getting into a program for an undergraduate degree in viola performance. Christine's training helped me to prepare for and excel through rigorous auditions for the region’s top conservatories and get accepted to my first choice program where I'm now enrolled. I think one of the best parts about working with her is how personal and supportive her lessons are. Through her passion and kindness Christine will inspire exploration and individualized depth into the creative process, which helped me to get more out of viola performance than I ever dreamed!”
