Violin Lessons Mountain

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Violin

My style is light and cheery - I make the kids feel important and I acknowledge their progress regularly. I am not a knuckle-rapping teacher. Discipline comes naturally out of a love of learning and I notice when they are practicing and let them know and that induces more and continuous practicing. I don't guilt-trip them if they don't - I use a "try to do more or better this week" approach if they have a low practice amount last week! Read More

It's rewarding to see a student's face light up in understanding or triumph when the music clicks. In working towards that, I help create plans and goals that the student would be able to achieve, especially with personal practice. I make sure the student can meet their long-term goals by breaking it down week by week. If there is a way to provide excitement, whether it be by finding a piece of music they really want to play or a relevant game they found, I will be sure to help support those elements in my preparations.

I use the Suzuki Method throughout my teaching process. I think it is a great bases for teaching the techniques necessary to master the violin/viola. I also use various scale books (according to level) to teach note reading, sight reading, and basic music theory. Each student in my studio is required to work on a technique (scales, etc.) and one to two solo pieces. Along with this, majority of my students perform with orchestras in schools or the community.
