About Lionel
Welcome to violin instruction by Lionel Thomas, Artist-Teacher. Still early in his teaching career, Mr. Thomas has already taught hundreds of students. Families and students serious about receiving quality violin instruction will find it in the depth of Lionel's pedagogical knowledge and his flexible teaching style.
I enjoy being able to share my many years of musical experience with students and their families. Most importantly, I am rewarded by seeing the progress of my students and how this increases their enjoyment of the violin.
I first began teaching private violin lessons as a high school student in my small town of Klamath Falls, Oregon.
During college, I pursued Suzuki teacher training which helped me to become a much better and professional teacher able to teach very young students.
Violinist Lionel Thomas graduated with a Master of Music degree from the College-Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati. He received his Bachelor of Music cum laude and completed two years of doctoral studies at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon. Mr. Thomas has taught and studied internationally, and is a registered Suzuki teacher for books 1 through 6, 9, and 10. He currently has a private studio in Newark, Delaware.

In violin lessons, whether in person or online, my teaching helps to make students feel welcome, challenged, and engaged. These three elements help in achieving optimal progress. Inquire about joining a violin studio where your progress is of the utmost importance.
I enjoy teaching Suzuki and Traditional violin to students of all ages. Since I began teaching over a decade ago, my youngest student was 2.5 years old and my most senior student was in their 70s!
It is most important that a student trust and feel comfortable with a teacher. Oftentimes, students and teachers will work together for a number of years.
Sometimes the most famous and world-renowed teacher may not be the best fit for a student seeking musical instuction as a means of enrichment.
Also, it is important to choose a teacher who knows how to teach well AND perform well. Beware of teachers who can barely make a good sound on their instrument. It is okay to ask a teacher to play for you.
Almost two years ago I had the opportunity to perform L'Histoire du Soldat (The Soilder's Tale) by Igor Stravinsky.
This piece is written for an odd combination of instruments including violin, double bass, clarinet, basson, trumpet, percussion, and trombone.
I enjoyed the story behind the music and the constantly changing rhythms throughout.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
It is important that students be comfortable with the instrument they are playing and with the level of music they are studying. Also, seek you teacher's advice regarding your own musical goals and interests.
