Violin Lessons Georgia

Instruments: Violin

The most rewarding feeling is when a student of mine feels a passion for the music they are learning. They are passionate usually because they are succeeding. Therefore I make it a mission of mine to set realistic goals for each student at each lesson. I constantly acknowledge students accomplishments and good habits, which in reaction makes students excited to learn more. By trying to observe what inspires each student, I can efficiently assign repertoire to each student accordingly in order to boost their interest and learning curve. Read More

I grew up lerning with the Suzuki Method.  I enjoy different methods, including Hal Leonard's Essential Elements, but it really depends on the student!  How you take in, process, and act on information.  Also how well you practice AT HOME!!!! Read More

Always start where the student is, and take them from there. Always encourage and inspire students to be better than yesterday. Progress, no matter the amount, is progress. Take your own pace. If you have a specific deadline, for example a college audition, you will have to commit to practicing more than usual and we will create a plan of action. Also, I do write letters of recommendation. Celebrating daily practice to turn goals into accomplishments, I love seeing my students learn, harness their determination to do more, learn more, and I love seeing my students happy with their self-worth.

When I was a young viola student I was taught using the Suzuki method. For beginner-intermediate violin/viola students I find this to be very effective, and would supplement this with a variety of technique exercises as well as something of personal interest to each student (folk style, pop, etc). After some time, when I feel a student has a solid grasp of fundamentals, I will begin to introduce appropriate solo repertoire. Read More

While teaching I emphasize relaxation. Our goal is to achieve the best results with the least amount of effort. This emphasis also prevents injuries, and I've found it always improves the speed at which we learn. My teaching style is always relaxed. Gradually, as the student advances I learn how much I should expect from them and gently push them to expecting more from themselves over time. I am certainly more hard on students aiming to become professionals and play their instrument as a profession than I am on those seeking just to enjoy it as a hobby, but all of these students eventually can play the highest level of music, at their own pace.
