I am a passionate, and motivated instructor who loves to work with students to create music and sharing my love for music with them. I also love to perform with other musicians where I have the chance to meet new music lovers and share music with them. I had performed all over Canada and in New York with orchestras and as a soloist. I graduated from Juilliard for my Bachelor and Masters degree, and am going into my second year of Artist diploma program at the Glenn Gould school at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto.
I have 5 plus years of teaching experience. I started to teach when I was in high school, and also while I was in New York, I taught mostly students who already had some experience or who are just beginning. But all ages are welcomed! I always start with warmups with scales, and move to what needs to be done on the agenda. Giving them a plan for what is headed for them for next lesson, but also for the near future have helped them to be motivated and have fun with the process. This lesson process is not just about learning how to play violin, but also how they can learn without a teacher in the future, and be able to play the instrument beautifully on their own.
For everyone, I like to talk with them and see their playing so I can get an idea of what needs to be worked on. Most of the beginners, I would teach them the basics of how to hold the violin to postures and tuning. I like to have a practice plan for the students to keep hem motivated, and if they are up for it, a plan to do a small competitions or concerts to have the student fully experience the joy of music and how it feels to be on the stage. I start with the Suzuki method of teaching, however some students want to learn something else, which I am fine with, as long as they are learning and having lots of fun!
There is nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student goes at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson, and giving them an outline of what will happen for the next few lessons. Acknowledging accomplishments helps the students desire to progress, and makes students want to learn more. Basics are always important no matter what level you are, so I always will ask the students to do a simple scale warm-ups and maybe I will throw an etude!
