I teach using the Suzuki method with an added emphasis on note reading and theory. The Suzuki method is a lot more than just using the Suzuki Repertoire. (In fact, I supplement the Suzuki method with pieces my students use a lot such as Happy Birthday, Jingle Bells, some pieces from Solos for Young Cellists, etc.) So what is the Suzuki method?

We all go at our own pace, and we should not compare our musical progress to others' musical progress. I will help my students make their own unique musical goals and gradually achieve them through a kind and loving teaching approach.

Each person is different. Because of this, I always make sure each student is going at their own pace. At the beginning of the year, I sit down with each student and we set goals for our playing. I want students to feel motivated and inspired always, and to practice because they love it- not because they feel forced. I have competitions within the studios to motivate practicing, and talk about what we can do at home to make the violin/viola more fun. Read More
