Viola Lessons Loudoun County, VA

Instruments: Violin, Viola, Music

For beginning students, I typically teach using Hal Leonard's Essential Elements book and the Flesch Urstudien book. Every student is different. I treat my students as individuals and adjust my teaching style to achieve optimal results. The way you practice reflects on how much enjoyment you get from playing and how well you perform at recitals/auditions, etc… I spend a significant amount of time, especially with new students, on the art of practicing.

I use Suzuki, Kayser, Hohmann, the Third Position, etc. and various concertos for advanced students.

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

I have had students learn from me for a few years now ever since my high school years. In my experience, the best way to get a student involved is to not only introduce them to the typical repertoire of their instrument, but also to help them write out, learn, or perform music they have a vested interest in learning. This can come in the form of pop music, inspirations like Lindsey Sterling, operatic or broadway show tunes and even music made for video games. Read More

I choose to work step by step. Not to force them or pressure them on anything. As I mentioned above, having this balance between having fun, enyoing and learning how to be responsible and dedicated, is healthy and efficient! Important is to understand that to learn an instrument, you also need to practice, at least 30 min per day and not just only wanting to have the lesson, because the progress will be very minimal and slow, and the learning process will become very boring.
