Hi! My name is Marlene
Violinist and teaching artist exploring music across cultures. My work explores storytelling, improvisation, and the violin’s ability to connect musical traditions through sound and shared musical language.
Performance
LIVE VIOLIN FOR CONCERTS, CULTURAL EVENTS & ELEGANT GATHERINGS
I perform a versatile repertoire ranging from classical and world music to improvisation and contemporary looping projects. My performances can be adapted for concerts, cultural events, festivals, elegant weddings, cocktail receptions, and intimate gatherings.
Teaching Artist
CREATIVE VIOLIN LEARNING & MODERN PRACTICE
With more than twenty years of experience as a teaching artist, I help musicians develop creativity, confidence, and their own musical voice through lessons, workshops, and community programs. Violin Bootcamp, the guided practice membership I created for adult violinists, brings that same teaching philosophy into a flexible, self-paced learning experience.
Violin Bootcamp
A MODERN VIOLIN PRACTICE APP AND COACHING SYSTEM FOR BUSY ADULT MUSICIANS
At the heart of Violin Bootcamp is the app I spent years developing to help busy adult violinists build a more consistent and enjoyable practice. Today, it forms the foundation of a guided practice membership that combines monthly practice plans, 7-Minute Power Routines, and supportive guidance to fit real life.
