Instruments: Violin

Teaching should be tailored to the needs of the student and there are not two students that learn in the same way. Each student progresses in a different way and has different strengths. I listen to the student needs and work with them creating fun ways to learn and that keep them motivated. Students in my classes express they are having fun. I also transferred my love for music to the students sharing about concerts, recitals, and my own musical experiences and how I overcame difficulties to keep them motivated. Read More

For all beginner students I like to start with Essential Elements 2000 for violin. I find it is a great way to introduce reading music notation for students who havent learned yet. Once the student has a good grasp on reading music and playing in upright position, I like to introduce introductory solo repertoire with Suzuki Violin School. I find this is a great way to introduce violin techniques like tone development along with performance elements. Read More

Instruments: Violin

I began teaching violin at 12 years old to kids in my neighborhood. I also taught my sister, so I gained experience at a very young age. As an adult, I became a private tutor under Piano Fortissimo in Atlanta, GA. I love to teach students of all ages from beginners to intermediate players. I believe that teaching a combination classical and modern music is the best way to keep a student excited and engaged. Read More

I typically use a combination of methods in the private lesson setting-method books, etude books, books for technique, solo repertoire, and pop/rock/jazz music and or charts for contemporary study. For beginners, I like Essential Elements 2000, Faber Method, Suzuki solo books, and easy pop music books. For more advanced students, I will incorporate advanced methods such as etude books/orchestral excerpts along with repertoire geared more towards polishing for recital or performance. Read More
