About

Welcome!

I'm glad you stopped by.  My name is Megan, and I am a violinist and violin teacher in Texas.  I absolutely love music, and sharing it with others through teaching and performing is a huge passion of mine.  I have been teaching since 1998 and plan to keep doing so until I die!


About Music Lesson Pirate


You may be wondering about the name of my blog.  Of course I am not encouraging you to steal or pirate from other people!  It's just a spin off of the quote I've heard many times that the best teachers are the best thieves, meaning the best teachers continually learn, grow, and expand their teaching tools and resources.
  We can all benefit from willingly sharing our ideas and collaborating with others.  On this blog, I share my music teaching ideas and experiences, simply out of hope that it may be useful to someone somewhere.  I encourage you to comment and share your ideas as well.  We’re all looking for just the right treasure that will work for our students.  So go ahead, let's share all our ideas and learn from each other!  Our students will benefit if we are constantly striving to better ourselves as teachers.
