Violin Lessons South

Instruments: Violin, Viola, Music

That was a major accomplishment for me and it showed me that I have the skills and passion to be a music teacher. I auditioned to be in the orchestra program for a performing arts high school and from 2016-2017, I attended performing arts high school, Dillard High in Fort Lauderdale. During my time at Dillard, I worked on solo pieces, orchestral works, and worked alongside the orchestra director to teach beginner orchestra classes to young students during school hours, and after school.

Instruments: Violin

Something that I really strive for in my teaching is inspiring young musicians. I believe that music is such an imperative part of society that also provides life skills that people will carry with them for the rest of their lives.

Musicianship is a very important skill for students to learn; so, starting from the beginning being as expressive as possible will help in understanding how to be expressive! Read More

Instruments: Violin

For intermediate and adult students, I try to adapt repertoire and activity selection to his or her own interests, and find a balance between addressing important technique learning tasks and music that keeps the student excited and engaged.

Instruments: Piano, Violin, Cello

While my primary instrument remains piano, at that point in time, I began teaching cello, which I began playing in 2004) and violin (something new for me at that time). I found that adding those two instruments to my "repertoire of teaching" added to my joy of teaching and overall, my appreciation of music. In lessons, I enjoy taking a mixed approach. I try to appeal to the student by having fun and trying to figure out their style of playing (by ear, by notes, etc) while also sticking to painting the big picture of music - theory, technique, classical repertoire, etc. Read More
