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 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, and through the Violin Bootcamp platform I created for adult violinists.
Violin Bootcamp
A MODERN VIOLIN PRACTICE APP AND COACHING SYSTEM FOR BUSY ADULT MUSICIANS
Violin Bootcamp is the program I created to help adult violinists reconnect with their instrument through my Power Routines practice system — short, focused sessions designed to fit into busy lives. Combining the Violin Bootcamp App with supportive coaching and guided practice strategies, the program helps musicians rebuild consistency, confidence and creativity in their playing — even with limited time.
