The Violin Studio of David Tanner
in Dublin, Ohio

Welcome to my teaching page.  I have been a full-time member of the Columbus Symphony Orchestra violin section and a violin teacher since 1984 after receiving a Bachelor of Music degree in violin performance from the Eastman School of Music in 1983.  I have lived in Dublin, Ohio since 1991.

Through the years I have taught classical violin to students of all ages and levels of skill.  For most students the study of the violin is part of the greater goal of music appreciation in general.  Listening to music and learning to play the violin is rewarding in many ways and is a valuable addition to one's educational experiences. Please contact me if you are interested in private study or if you have questions.

The Kun shoulder rest is probably the best for most purposes. Be sure to get the correct size for your violin and make sure it's a real Kun.

The Korg TM-40 tuner and metronome plays audible pitches 12 tones above middle c and is reasonably loud as a metronome. See this at Amazon.com
