Violin Lessons West

Instruments: Violin

I began to teach young children at elementary levels while at Indiana University. Despite their high-caliber collegiate music curriculum, they also have one of the world's esteemed Suzuki method schools led by pedagogues who even started Joshua Bell. I was lucky enough to dive under their wing and really learn the fundamentals of Suzuki teaching, or inspiring fresh minds from the core level. Witnessing kids that once followed their parents to another lackluster lesson bouncing off the walls with excitement after experiencing an enjoyable lesson helped me to discover the passion in teaching.

As a cello instructor, my students have been accepted into several top music programs including the University of North Texas, the University of Houston, Texas Tech University, Sam Houston State University, and the University of Texas at Arlington. Several have gone on to become teachers themselves.

While in Brazil, I accumulated a huge experience as a string teacher, by spending 18 years teaching individual and group lessons (music schools and my own studio) and working with social projects as well. In Albuquerque, I taught cello group lessons at Montezuma Elementary School (2016) and taught at the UNM Lab School. I also use traditional methods in relation to orchestra playing and include the student repertoire as primordial in the learning process. Read More

If they are having fun, it makes meeting those goals easier. Read More

I would like to inform little of music theory as needed for better understanding of music. Mainly I would focus on letting students make their goal and achieve it. The way I teach students is starting with setting a goal for each lesson time. After setting a goal, I will organize time to spend to go through anything we need to work on together. I will assign my student to read next part until we meet next lesson. Read More
