Violin Lessons Mercer County, NJ

Instruments: Violin, Viola

I have enjoyed teaching violin and piano for over 25 years.  For younger students, beginning at age 4, I utilize Suzuki method which utilizes musical games that develop listening skills. As students progress, they learn note reading and develop proper violin technique through scale studies and bowing practice. Daily practice is important to attain proficiency and enjoyment of lessons. Classical as well as popular music is taught to all levels and are tailored to the individual student. Read More

Moreover, the teacher who's job is to cultivate and direct is about twenty percent of the equation. With the proper guidance and orchestration , the student propels forward and gets to a level of competency with teach and practice. Some of the world's great artists, have done it this way and I believe for one that this approach works best as a personal direct from teacher to student. While a good teacher is essential,one who can see the scope of ability in a student and work with both the negatives and positives, the teacher herein is as mentioned a small part of the students success.

The most important over-arching philosophy in ALL of my teaching, is INDIVIDUAL CURRICULUM. Every student is a unique human being, bringing unique perspective, experiences, talents, and flaws. I adjust all curriculum based on the needs of their students, in order to play up their strengths and address their flaws. My curriculum is also unique in that it values student input much higher than many people who teach strictly from the classical method. Read More
