Violin Lessons Montgomery County, PA

Instruments: Violin, Viola

My aspirations as a violin instructor are to enable students to identify, understand, and assess challenges they contend to search for possible solutions. I am a proponent of self-directed learning, and intentionally create situations in class that allow the students to learn through the unconventional approach. I also encourage students to come up with their own exercises and possible solutions for any challenge they encounter. In order to measure their learning, I require students to demonstrate the process of searching for possible solutions in class. Read More

During lessons, I am always looking for progress rather than absolute perfection. If I can see that a student is trying, learning from their mistakes, actively thinking about the music we are playing, and is enjoying the journey, I will consider lessons a success.
