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. I have played in many orchestras school, church and many other ones.
My experience dates back to mid 2021. I took courses for teaching the Suzuki method and have finished book 1 course teaching so my comfort zone is teaching beginner students and intermediate beginner. I am teaching about 4 kids right now all within age 4-6. Parents motivation is a strong key point for me. Without the parents strict and motivation speeches they will mostly likely quit within 5 years. Everyday practice is very important for improvement. Parents also need to practice with their child and help them out.
My only method in teaching violin is the suzuki method. Suzuki based his approach on the belief that “Musical ability is not an inborn talent but an ability which can be developed. Any child who is properly trained can develop musical ability, just as all children develop the ability to speak their mother tongue. The potential of every child is unlimited.” Children learn to speak by listening and imitating the spoken language they hear around them. In Suzuki teaching, much emphasis is placed on daily listening to recordings of the Suzuki repertoire, as well as music in general. The more frequently the students listen to the recordings, the more easily they learn to play. It’s very interesting when a child learns a new song faster each time because they develop hearing in music.
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. I love seeing kids develop their musical skills to become a very good violin player.
