Violin Lessons Georgia

Instruments: Violin

When it comes to putting bow to string, I begin with just open strings and rhythms. I think learning by ear at first can be really helpful so I would teach the student to hear and identify pitches and play songs by ear. Then I would teach basic one octave scales in a few different keys. I believe that scales are the foundation to everything! At this point, I would begin the studnets on the first Suzuki Book.

I am classically trained with more than 15 years of international performing experience and 6+ years of private and classroom teaching experience. Besides private teaching, my experience includes teaching in an El Sistema setting (B Sharp Youth Music program in Texas) and for public school-based programs like String project and Boys and girls club in GA. I have been fortunate to teach the viola at the UGA Summer Camp and as a visiting clinician at area schools. Read More

At the age of 17, I flew to Hollywood, CA to attend Musicians Institute where I studied Bass Guitar Performance. Learning from and playing with some of the best musicians in the business was amazing. I left school to hit the road with my first professional band. I spent the next 20+ years writing, recording and touring all over the country. I was lucky enough to be in a few bands that landed indie recording contracts, which allowed me to tour nationally doing original music, with songs I had written being played on radio and on TV shows across the country.

I began teaching beginner players dating back to high school and continued teaching in college part time. I have taught a diverse age range of students, strongly focusing on musicality, phrasing, and intuition of music. I heavily focus on eliminating bad habits early while engaging in flexible teaching styles. I have over 8 years of experience as a violin freelancer, mostly in weddings. My students are always encouraged to ask questions and to have fun. Read More

Teaching strategies and experience ranges differently from each instructor. For beginners, such as children, I would start with the book series 'Essential Elements'. From experience, Leonard provides the most thorough book to grasp the ability to learn violin. Scale practice and listening sessions would also be a consideration for children as repetition is best to help the younger audience learn such an intricate instrument. As for older students, say teens and adults, I would say depending on the student themselves, I am very malleable to understand what the student wants out of 'music lessons'. Read More
