I teach violin with the Suzuki method and philosophy. Beyond a system of books, the Suzuki philosophy emphasizes that every child can learn to play regardless of any "inborn talent." Learning an instrument is much like learning a language: children learn their native tongue effortlessly through immersion in the language and plenty of practice. Children similarly can learn an instrument beautifully but this requires lots of listening, a safe environment, and parents/caretakers fully engaged to help the child learn and grow from mistakes.

For beginning to intermediate students, I use the Suzuki Method. Each successive piece introduces a new skill, so that the student is always building on learned skills. Dr. Suzuki, the founder of the Suzuki Violin Method, spoke often of the “Suzuki Triangle.” This is an equilateral triangle with Parent, Teacher, and Student in each of the corners. The triangle helps illustrate that each role is equally important. The parent learns the rudimentary skills of the instrument and learns how to work in a positive and nurturing way to be more conducive to their child’s learning. Read More
