Colorado Symphony Violinist Joins TakeLessons Teacher Roster

Online, November 16, 2011 (Newswire.com) - As a celebration of 25 years as a performer (and his 60th birthday), Sting has announced the release of his "appumentary" - a collection of biographical memorabilia, interviews and performances exclusively for the iPad. The release shows just how artists are using technology to advance the music industry in unique ways.

TakeLessons (http://takelessons.com), the nation's fastest growing private music lessons provider, has also been using a blend of technology and music to help match students up with local teachers. Recently, TakeLessons announced a new hire in Arvada, CO.

Julie W. will be teaching violin, viola and music theory to students of all ages throughout the Arvada area. Julie will be an excellent addition to the TakeLessons roster, which features instructors nationwide who have gone through a 7-step certification process.

After receiving her Bachelor's degree and Master's degree in Violin Performance from Indiana University, Julie went on to join the Colorado Symphony in addition to teaching private lessons.

"I'm very patient, and I think the more questions that are asked, the better!" said new teacher Julie. "I think that everyone learns and relates in a different way, so I work with my students individually and discover their strengths and weaknesses, and I work to build a curriculum based on their needs."

TakeLessons takes students beyond just music lessons and offers a comprehensive user experience, with a personal online account to track scheduling, billing, and lesson journals all in one place. Current students have 24/7 access to their online accounts, and can connect with Student Counselors if they ever want to switch instructors or their lesson schedule.

Since its launch in 2006, TakeLessons has helped students pursue their passion for music by offering over 35 types of private music lessons that are taught by some of the nation's most talented local music instructors. The hiring of a new Arvada music teacher adds to TakeLessons' emerging presence in the greater Denver area, with lessons offered in Westminster, Lakewood, and Aurora, as well.
