My teaching experience dates back to my high school days teaching younger students. Ever since I've been teaching in different music studios and schools. I teach individually and groups also. I love how my students would be able to play and perform a piece they really love in recitals and be able to participate in a group performance as well. I usually play the piano to accompany my students. I love combining classical and pop music in my repertoire to make it more fun. i believe the students should enjoy what they are doing. I listen to my students and value their inputs on the lessons as well.
My repertoire usually composes of Hal Leonards's Essential Element,Hrimaly Scale Studies, Sevcik for Violin and Bowing Techniques, Suzuki School Violin Book and a show piece and a piece of the students choosing. I usually ask the student on what do they want to learn in the violin so i can adjust my repertoire for them. Every now and then I play some piece if the can recognize it and help them get motivated. I research new pieces and have them choose what they like. It is important to have fun while learning the violin.
I want my students to have fun and enjoy playing the violin. I love motivating them with relevant music or music they love listening to and fuse it with classical. I ask them what do they want to achieve and we will approach it together and discover more along the way. I love explaining why we do certain bowings, techniques and exercises so they would know what is the purpose of it. I love connecting to my students like asking them what music they listen to or what type of music the are leaning towards to.
