Violin Lessons Northeast

Instruments: Piano, Violin, Music

I put great emphasis on establishing a very good control on the technique of violin. I do it by teaching students how to do scales and etudes while having fun and making themselves more motivated by setting their own goals and achieving them, which also builds up their confidence. After students get more and more in command of themselves and the violin, I would then proceed to help the students with their own repertoire and guide them to formulate their own musical ideas and make their own voice be heard!

My biggest goal as a teacher is to help my students develop and nourish a love of music. I believe that positive reinforcement and clear, concise instruction are essential to helping students achieve success. It is vital that during each lesson students not only expand their playing abilities, but also their confidence. I want to foster an environment where students feel comfortable experimenting, asking questions, and sharing their own ideas. Read More

I have been tutoring for the past four years, and have experience working with students both virtually and in-person.

I find that this makes the process more enjoyable, whether for young learners or adult students. Read More

Here is a summary of my teaching principles, which I give to each of my new students when we begin lessons together. 1. The instruction process can only work well when the student is personally involved in improvement in their musical skills. If this involvement truly ends, so should the instruction. 2. Learning to play a musical instrument is comprised of many individual steps. Results typically appear gradually and periodically, and only after much specific practice. Read More

For beginning students, I use the Essential Elements book 1. This book introduces the student to the instrument in the most practical way while making it fun, and it has the student reading music from the beginning, which I find very important. After this, we go on to Suzuki book 2 and a scale book. Then we move our way through the Suzuki books and start to incorporate more complex scales and etudes. Read More
