My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 8 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 5 years, as weII as teaching at SchooI of Rock Green VaIIey for 3 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument.

I love watching my students embrace what they've learned and grow. I am very intuitive and use this skill to serve each student independantly. It is so empowering to watch my students' confidence grow as they learn. I encourage my students to set realistic deadlines for performance, audition, and recording times. I help them find outlets for their skills and accompany them throughout the process. Recently I was overjoyed to find that one of my students booked a gig at his college, and is getting paid!

Instruments: Violin Viola

For beginning students it's very important to develop their correct habits of posture, how to hold the violin, hands position, correct breathing. I moved them step by step, once the student has progressed with his technical skills, I will introduce him to the Solo repertoire according to his abilities, for his first recital concert. For the adult students, I think it's a good plan to ask them their goals, their thoughts and how much they think they will be able to practice. Read More

As already stated, my approach stresses understanding a mastery of "the basics" of musical knowledge and instrument-specific knowledge and skills -while adapting to the individual strengths/weaknesses and interests... of the individual students. Among other things, my approach emphasizes empowering students by quickly and efficiently imparting essential and useful knowledge and "real skills" that enable students to know and demonstrate, at will, music knowledge and ability. My students tend to become knowledgeable and skilled rapidly, having a clear understanding of the basics of musical knowledge and instrument-specific skill, imparting confidence in their knowledge and ability, while providing them with the knowledge and skill(s) to solve musical problems and achieve musical goals.

Luckily I was taught by not only very high skill level players, but also by charismatic individuals that were also very good educators. As an educator, my main focus is to emulate their masterful ways of teaching and incorporate that into my program. I use various methods: how to read music, hear music and create music. Ear training is super important to me as it allows the student to learn "feel". Read More

Instruments: Violin

Though I do not strictly follow the Suzuki method, which involves learning by ear, I often use the Suzuki books and incorporate elements of the method into lessons for students of all ages. This way, students can focus on learning to play violin without struggling to read music at the same time. Separating the two skills can help beginners pick up the instrument more quickly. I will always help students with note reading once they're ready but do not require they start at any particular stage. Read More
