ViolinCraft with Libby

A self-proclaimed Violin Nerd, I obsess about technique and style from the early baroque to today. Whether preparing people for auditions, or addressing specific technical concerns, I love pinpointing tiny changes that transform a person’s playing and take them to a new level.

I was preparing for a competition and I needed someone to give me honest, constructive feedback to help me identify what was holding me back. Libby provided this insight with kindness, encouragement, and concision…I was able to perform with joy and confidence.”
— Anna Okada, baroque violinist, Walla Walla, Washington
