Instruments: Violin

I also work as a vocal performer and have sung classically in many choral ensembles and churches. I worked at the University of South Carolina String Project and have taught elementary and middle school orchestra. My greatest passion remains sharing my love of violin with private students who are excited to learn - many of my students have made all state orchestra, gained acceptance into youth orchestras, and won music scholarships for college.

Caleb T

Instruments: Voice Violin

In 2014, I began teaching students privately. I taught multiple students of different ages, with a range from early childhood to late adulthood. Most of my students were beginners, and we worked together for over a year. By the end of our time together, they were able to play fairly advanced music for the time they had been playing, such as "La Folia" by Corelli and "Jesu, the Joy of Man's Desiring" by Bach.

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola

I know each student is different in terms of learning style and musical goals. I make it a priority to keep the student's best interest in mind when giving assignments and setting weekly goals for practicing. The most important thing I want to leave the student with is a sense of fascination and appreciation for music. Whether an interest in classical or country music, I can transform any material into a learning opportunity that is fun, educational, and progressive for the student's musical and technical development.

Instruments: Piano Violin

In addition to lesson and scale books I like to heavily supplement technical material, finger strengthening exercises, repertoire appropriate to playing level, and theory. I also send students home with listening homework from time to time, which includes listening to works from famous composers on youtube and then having a brief conversation about those pieces at the start of our next lesson. I believe understanding the scope of an instrument from more than just the technical aspect of it really enhances the learning experience and makes students value the techniques they are learning.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Ukulele Mandolin Fiddle Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My favorite thing about teaching is seeing that spark of understanding as students learn new things and grow a love for making music. My lesson style is very flexible and adaptable, and I like to have my student's input on what they would like to play. Lessons progress at your own pace and should be challenging in a very fun way. Everyone is different when it comes to musical taste and goals, and it's very fun to meet new people and find what inspires them. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Hannah G

Instruments: Violin Viola

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Create- and write down- goals that are attainable in however long you have to practice. There is no need for the frustration of cramming too much into too little time; if you feel crunched for time, limit the number or overall difficulty of goals you are aiming for. Many students cite past frustration in practicing in their reasoning for not wanting to practice. By creating a checklist of smaller goals, students can see that they really are accomplishing a lot even when it may not feel like it.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Learning to hold the instrument and bow! These are two of the first things we learn, and both are things that professionals still tinker and experiment with no matter how many years they have been playing- I might make the argument we never quite master it, but it definitely becomes second nature after a bit of time spent with the instrument. Neither the violin bow or instrument hold are things that feel completely natural at first, and a long time is spent reducing tension and making everything as comfortable as possible to reduce injury.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to play in a production of Les Miserables. The show was one of the first I fell in love with in my early years of learning about theatre and the orchestral parts add so much depth to an already engaging story. In terms of strictly orchestral music, I hope to get the chance to play Gershwin's "An American In Paris" sometime in my career. I think it's a piece of music that can be enjoyed by longtime listeners of classical music and those who might just be getting a first introduction to the form. The blues melody in the middle has always held a special place in my heart.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite way to participate in music is as a musician for local musical theatre, especially musical theatre tailored to kids and young adults. Being able to contribute to the art forms of singing, acting, and dancing, further drives my belief that all art (not just music) can impact young lives in a meaningful way. Through the process of creating a musical theatre product, we learn about all the components that go into effective storytelling. I became a much more expressive and flexible player in my time playing musicals.
