Violin Lessons Warren County, VA

Instruments: Violin

Although this is my first official teaching job, I began teaching back in 2011 during my freshman year of high school. I had the pleasure of conducting and teaching both concert and chamber orchestra. I then became a student assistant my senior year and was able to do one-on-one's with the younger students. I encourage my students to go home and practice their scales. They are the key to the perfect bow hand/movement, structure, and agile finger movement. Read More

Instruments: Violin, Cello, Viola, Electric Violin

My teaching style is full of open communication. I think that it is important that students set goals for themselves. I allow my students to pieces that they want to play. Students need to be able to see their own progress. I know that not every student will be outwardly excited, but I know that every student feels internally great about accomplishing goals. I set goals for my students that align with their goals. Read More

Instruments: Violin, Fiddle

When teaching fiddle I teach students starting on simple tunes that we learn by ear and memorize. With a few standard well known tunes down I use those to demonstrate more of the nuances of fiddle performance. The process of learning fiddle is a simultaneous process of learning how to pick up tunes quickly by ear and play them idiomatically so there is not much in the way of text that I use in the actual lessons however I will recommend readings depending on how much the student is interested in that, otherwise we mostly have a fun time playing fiddle Music Theory I teach using the standard AP music theory text and the Kostka Tonal harmony book or other textbooks that the student is using from their classes.

I prove effective and deliver positive, productive outcomes. Read More

Instruments: Violin

My experience dates back to mid 2021. I took courses for teaching the Suzuki method and have finished book 1 course teaching so my comfort zone is teaching beginner students and intermediate beginner. I am teaching about 4 kids right now all within age 4-6. Parents motivation is a strong key point for me. Without the parents strict and motivation speeches they will mostly likely quit within 5 years. Everyday practice is very important for improvement. Read More
