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.

I set goals for my students that align with their goals. Read More

My name is Victoria S. I am very passionate about teaching violin. I am a certified Suzuki book teacher which is the method I use to teach. I have played violin for over 10 years and I love working with kids and making violin special to them. I took lessons until I was 16ish at EMU preparatory music program. I was always taught the Suzuki method which is a very good teaching method for many instruments because they teach notes later on and we play by ear at first. Read More

Once the student has progressed and appears to grasp the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce etudes and solo pieces. I also teach students elementary music theory related to the pieces they are learning. For advanced students, I focus more on their technique and performance. Scales and etudes are essential as well as having experience playing a diverse repertoire. Read More
