My teaching experience dates back to my college days,as I began teaching private lessons 17 years ago,and have been consistently teaching students in my home or students home for the last 17 years.Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for students,as it tends to help the students progress and gain a passion for the instrument.I have also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the violin and motivate to practice and continue to learn.

Because you can play through an entire piece without any emotion and it won't be enjoyable because it doesn't feel good. Read More

From there I was always interested in learning and, whenever I could, teach also the satisfaction of being able to transmit knowledge of art as beautiful as music is absolutely comforting. Read More
