Viola Lessons Florida

Instruments: Violin, Viola, Fiddle

I believe that learning a musical instrument is a personal journey; a journey that happens at your own pace. During each lesson, I work with the student at a pace they are comfortable with while setting attainable goals and making the lesson fun! When a student's accomplishments are acknowledged, it not only makes them eager to progress further, but it boosts their confidence, which can spill over to other areas of their lives. Read More

I have played the violin and piano since I was 4 years old and have spent 20 years in the State Professional Music School and Conservatory in Poland.

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Violin, Viola, Ukulele, Electric Violin, Fiddle, Music, Keyboard

Nothing is more important and rewarding to me than seeing my students develop their own passion for music and the instrument. I work extremely hard to help my students achieve their goals by catering every lesson specifically to the student. This includes getting to know each and every student, exploring their musical preferences, taking note of their learning styles; then utilizing these things to plan realistic objectives and enjoyable lessons every week.

Instruments: Violin, Viola

For beginner students, I start with Hal Leonard's "Essential Elements for Strings" Book 1. This book is not only great for learning the fundamentals of the instrument (such as the names of the parts of the instrument, how to hold the instrument, etc.) but it also the best book I have found to teach beginning students how to read music on the violin and viola. For more advanced students, I like to stick with a formula of three things: scales (two-three octaves), an etude (a piece used to focus on a specific technique), and solo repertoire. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Violin, Cello, Viola

For beginning cello students of all ages, I normally use one of my teacher's method books: Cellocity by Helga Winold of Indiana University. As my cello students progress, I slowly introduce smaller pieces that can normally be found in Suzuki method books. After my cello students have advanced significantly, I begin to introduce more complex pieces that are found in the standard cello repertoire. Eventually, my students reach a level where they gain the ability to gauge their experience level and select their own pieces with my approval. Read More
