Viola Lessons Connecticut

Instruments: Voice, Violin, Viola, Electric Violin, Fiddle

Music should not be boring or intimidating, so I teach to my students' personalities and their comfort levels.

For beginning students I like to start with building good technique and posture and making sure that the fundamentals are practiced thoroughly.  I grew up learning through the Suzuki Method and I like to teach that way as well.  Suzuki said that any child could learn to play music because like a child learns language through listening, a child can also learn to play music the same way.  With support from teachers and parents or guardians a child can become a successful and accomplished musician. For students with a little more experience, or an adult who is just getting back into playing, I will get them to work towards an attainable goal and figure out what it is that they want to get from the lessons.

For example, instead of looking at the Staff as limericks; Read More
