Viola Lessons Northeast

Instruments: Violin, Viola, Electric Violin, Fiddle

I have been teaching for over five years, taking on students as young as 5 and as young as 65. ;) I have taught both privately, in duos, and in larger groups. My teaching experience has been very multi-faceted. For one student, I'll be teaching a Bach Minuet, and for the next it could be a Lord of The Rings excerpt! I like to emphasize the importance of practice and playing your instrument on a regular basis to accelerate progress. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Violin, Viola, Music

I began teaching private lessons as a sophomore in high school, where at first I had only one violin student. By the time I was a senior in high school I taught 10 students a week, all based on word of mouth recommendation through contacts at my former middle school. My aim for lessons is to present fun yet challenging material in a captivating and exploratory manner. Learning is a very individual experience, thus I employ different mediums and presentation techniques to introduce new concepts and revisit old ones. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Violin, Cello, Viola, Fiddle, Keyboard

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 18 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 5 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

Instruments: Violin, Viola

I enjoy sharing my knowledge with students and hope to cultivate a life-long enjoyment and appreciation of music.  Both classical and popular musical repertoire are taught. Seeing students develop and grow in their musical ability is very rewarding. Each lesson is divided into tuning, scales, review of assignment, and learning new piece of repertoire for the next week. Each student is unique, so patience and encouragement are necessary to ensure student meets with success. Read More
