Viola Lessons in San Bernardino, CA

Instruments: Violin Viola

Once the student has a clear understanding of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire and etudes. To make the lesson more engaging, I am flexible in regard to choosing music pieces that a student may want to learn or not. I usually ask a student if they have a piece they would like to learn. If yes, then I will teach that piece for my student. If not, then I can find pieces to get the student interested in learning. Read More

I do expect hard work, but I understand how sometimes, even hard work isn't enough, and ultimately the approach to learning the instrument should be altered a bit. Music has given me so many different opportunities, and I want my students to stick with it long enough to be able to see that those opportunites could be possible for them. The beginning is the hardest part, once they're past that hurdle, they can find endless joy in their instrument.  Read More

My goal is always to take students where they are: beginning, intermediate or advanced and help them discover and develop their own love of music. I do this through introducing music that develops their skill and gives them the satisfaction of playing music that they enjoy. It is not only about playing scales and such but learning to play musically so that people they may play for in the future will enjoy listening to them and they will enjoy sharing what they have learned.
