I was in charge for several years of a music school as executive director in San Cristobal, Venezuela, and as musical director of the Adventist orchestra of Venezuela Tachira headquarters (2012-2015).

I believe it is important that beginning students who do not know how to read music yet stay out of the books at first. Reading music and trying to hold the instrument correctly, having bow control, and paying attention to tone can be overwhelming. The first few lessons will be book free. Once I feel the student is able to read notes, we will begin in Hal Leonard's Essential Elements which also comes with a CD for easy at home practicing. Read More
