Teaching

I offer instruction in violin technique, jazz violin and improvisation skills. My teaching style is focused and flexible, and I engage students by encouraging them to own their own learning.

I accept students at any level of expertise from age of 12 through adult and professional, I accept younger students if a parent can be present at lessons. Contact me via phone or text at 773-321-8221 to find out more.

You can find my lesson payment policy here

What people say:

Steve is the kind of teacher that shares with you the infectious joy of music. I truly appreciated how much delight he found with each detail about music and always felt inspired to go discover more. He is patient and willing to take the time to help you learn something. His knowledge of not only jazz but other styles of music is something I aspire to! --Janice L.

"Steve Gibons is a wonderful teacher. My son, Daniel, is 17 years old and has been taking violin lessons for 13 years, and he has been learning from Steve for over 2 years. I don't think I could find a better teacher for my son."
