Violin Lessons Louisiana

Instruments: Violin, Viola

For beginning students, I like to start with a combination of the Suzuki method and Essential Elements. As the student progresses, I will introduce solo repertoire according to their level. For adults, I will start with basic musical training and then we will move on to a repertoire that the student is interested in learning. Just like in music, behind every successful performance, there is a process of constant discipline, revision, and change, in life is not so different, behind every successful step there is a process of discipline, adaptation, and change.

Always, though, I try to control the pace of the session, to speak thoughtfully, honestly, and constructively whilst always maintaining the utmost respect for the struggles that a student is facing.

For those who are just starting on an instrument, I usually focus on basic technique. Bass and guitar are both physical instruments in their own way, and getting acclimated to the feel of it is key to having success on it.
