Violin Lessons Iberville County, LA

Instruments: Violin, Viola

The tension is often a result of a constricted physical, mental and/or emotional activity, causing students to feel frustrated and disappointed, preventing them from the desired results. I believe demonstrating how to practice efficiently is equally important. In my years of teaching, I have observed that students who do not make significant progress are the ones who do not insert intelligence and judgment into their practice routines. For examples, if a student is having left-hand coordination problems in a fast detaché passage, it is very likely that he or she may be lifting the fingers too high above the fingerboard and/or not keeping fingers down whenever possible.

I first began teaching at the age of sixteen. I was hired to work at Berkshire Summer Music, a music camp for talented young children. I worked as a violin and viola instructor, teaching children of all ages, assisting with their technique and helped develop good practicing habits. Since then, I have worked at a variety of music camps, where I have taught bass, guitar, songwriting, and led a variety of ensembles. Read More

I've been teaching for about 10 years, since my friends started asking for lessons and I noticed I was always willing to let others try my instruments in a way I see other musicians often are not.

My teaching experience dates back to my high school years. There was always a shortage of viola teachers, and I was often asked to teach my classmates. After I graduated, I worked as a violin and viola instructor at my school for a few months before moving to the United States. I have been teaching private lessons for seven years to students of all ages. As an artist and instructor, I believe in the power of discipline and how it can shape our lives. Read More

I am not strict in one specific style. I try to be malleable in my approach as I get to know the habits and abilities of each individual. I've had students for whom I thought it best to be more rigid and repetitive drill based, while others seem to benefit from a more passive guru. It's a spectrum. Always, though, I try to control the pace of the session, to speak thoughtfully, honestly, and constructively whilst always maintaining the utmost respect for the struggles that a student is facing.
