Violin Lessons Macomb County, MI

Instruments: Violin

My lesson style consists of working on fingering and plucking first from Essential Method Book for Strings or the Suzuki book (for the beginning students who are children). While they (children) are practicing, I encourage/ recommend them to memorize the songs if they can. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. I also try to find out what inspires the student. That way, I know their wants and needs. Read More

I began teaching privately in 2006 after I graduated from college. I began teaching in my church in New York, to beginner students between the ages of 8 and 15. I continued teaching until 2010, when I began my Master's Degree. I found that by finding out similar interests between myself and the students outside of classical music made it enjoyable for them. I would also give my students a lot of encouragement and sometimes rewards for their hard and diligent work. Read More

Each student is unique, therefore listening and getting to the individual as well as their skill is critical. The first lesson or two may be spent just getting to know each other and give some minor music skill testing to help me understand skill level. From there, we move forward at the student's pace and abilities! When there is opportunity, my students have performed in recitals, contest and served in music at the churches in their schools.

I have over twenty years of experience in teaching public classes and private lessons. I have a great joy in discovering breakthrough moments where everybody can work together towards achieving their personal goals. Though it is true that every person is unique and different, it is always great where folks can get together and share the love that is music whether that be performing or simply sharing a tune with a loved one or neighbor.

I've also served as an orchestra teacher for Manor High School and Manor New Technical High School where I provided an elevated level of teaching to an underprivileged student base. Read More
