Violin lessons are a combination of the Suzuki Method and Strings Builders. Read More

As a teacher i encourage my students to keep improving and progressing to the best of their ability. While I can be strict, I always try to make lessons fun, especially for young children because it is essential to their learning capability that they enjoy learning their instrument. Students are given opportunities, words, and support to increase their self confidence while constantly challenging them so that they can make the greatest strides possible to their own personal level and learning speed.

Instruments: Violin

Course Materials: I teach classical style music. I use the Suzuki books as repertoire for all students (I do not teach the Suzuki method though) and occasionally use other helpful materials such as Kreuitzer and Trott to teach intermediate students etudes, positions, and technique.

This approach to the violin opens up the students awareness of what they can do and gives them the ease in violin playing that is necessary in bringing them to the highest level. Read More
