I like to start out beginning string students with Essential Elements 2000 by the Hal Leonard company. They have a complete system which includes professionally recorded accompaniments which provide a model for the student to hear how to play with good intonation, tone and rhythm which are the most important basics. In addition I recommend other sheet music with piano accompaniment or books with CD accompaniments that can be performed for friends and family. Read More

I currently work as the violin instructor and coordinator for Pacific Symphony's Santa Ana Strings. have taught students from the ages of five to adults. My students hold a busy schedule with violin recitals and are also given the opportunity to participate in master classes. In addition, they are involved in their school orchestras, have toured Europe, been members of OCYSO, and my former student now teaches along side with me at Pacific Symphony's Santa Ana Strings.

My teaching experience dates back to my freshman year of high school where I tutored a younger student through the Suzuki Method for the next 5-6 years until she went off to college out of state. I have taught part time through the Chicago Public Schools where I worked with two kindergarden aged students. I have lesson plans and objectives I would like to hit at each lesson but if a skill we are working on still needs more practice then I will not rush to the next task. Read More

Hi there! My name is Brandon Encinas, violinist and violist living in the Los Angeles area! I’ve been playing violin for 23 years and work as a performing and recording artist. I’ve had the joy of sending some of my students to top university’s and music schools across the country over the last decade. I also record with studios across Los Angeles, and some of my favorite projects are done at home from my home recording set up, where I can work with composers and artists from all over the world.

I received my Bachelors of Music in violin performance from the University of Redlands. I will be starting school in July to receive my Masters in music education from Longy School of music. I have always wanted to teach and it is important for my students to enjoy the love of music. I feel it is important to perform as well so they understand that I still need to work hard to stay a strong musician. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
I use an organized step by step method as a general rule, depending on the students age and ability, seeking to have each student master the fundamentals of rhythm, note reading, technique and expression in a logical easy to understand way. I require practice at least 4 days a week to ensure progress. For preschool age children, I use the Wunderkeys method. I seek to minimize frustration, encourage students to e-mail with questions, use games as a learning tool and assign pieces they like and pieces that are standard repertoire. Read More

I create a personalized lesson plan for each and every student I teach, because not everyone learns the same way. I incorporate music and exercises from a variety of different books in a way that I think would best suit my student. I will often also have my students learn music that has a part for a second violin, so that I can accompany them. For a complicated instrument like the violin, learning left-hand technique comes before right-hand technique, and then combining them together. Read More

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My Bachelor of Music was a concentration in Violin Performance. I chose this path because I primarily wanted to be a performer able to play in orchestras and live music settings. I was also lucky enough to have a teaching internship during college, so although I was giving recitals and learning major violin repertoire, I was also learning how to be a better teacher.
My performance education has allowed me to do everything I want to do because it was a well rounded program. I am able to perform with orchestras and popular artists as well as teach many students!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal lesson with me begins with scales and technical exercises. We go over things like posture, bow hold, and left hand position in the first portion of the lesson. The student focuses on intonation, bowing straight, and making a solid sound. After scales and etudes, we move to any repertoire the student is working on. For younger students, it is generally something out of the Suzuki books. For older students, it is generally a more advanced piece, or any orchestra repertoire they are working on in their school or youth orchestra. While practicing repertoire, we focus on musicality as well as technique.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I teach the Suzuki Method as well as All for Strings method books for beginners. My more advanced students use the Carl Flesch Scale Book, as well as standard etude books (Sevcik, Dont, Wolfhart, Dounis, etc.) I grew up learning the Suzuki method, so naturally when I began teaching, those were the books I was most comfortable with. The Suzuki method is a wonderful way for students to learn skills through playing pieces. I find it makes students excited because they are actually getting to play a song rather than only scales or etudes.
I supplement the Suzuki method with All for Strings so students get comfortable with note reading and technique early on.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
My decision to become a professional musician was a gradual one. I began playing the violin when I was eight years old. As I got older, I also became very involved in musical theatre. My schedule was filled with violin lessons and practice as well as stage productions and rehearsals. At some point the violin became my main focus, and I knew I wanted to pursue it in college. I had always been on the music career path in my private lessons, but once I decided to audition for colleges, I had to work even harder and prepare for my professional music education.
