Instruments: Violin Cello Viola Fiddle Music

Instruments: Piano Violin Cello

As the student progresses with either instrument, I try to encourage them to continue with scales and to move up in their playing abilities and music reading.

I believe it is so important to recognize that each student learns and progresses differently, therefore my approach to each student will vary.

By trying to recognize what inspires each individual, it is much easier to tailor my teaching to their wants and needs. Read More
