Instruments:
I started to teach privately and give group lessons when I was in college. There I have received extensive training and varied teaching experience through including a required music pedagogy course, “Musician as Educator”, participating in the outreach program teaching grade 3 to 5 at the Children’s Storefront in East Harlem, NY, and assisting the Manhattan School of Music Pre-College Orchestra for students from grade 3 to 12, where I was responsible for helping students develop individually, leading sectionals, and rehearsing the assigned music. I was invited to the North Carolina Governor’s School in Winton-Salem, NC as a teaching assistant in the summer of 2011 for similar responsibilities that I had with the MSM Pre-College Orchestra as well as giving private lessons and dormitory resident counselor duties. As an recent Master's of Music Degree graduate, I am teaching both privately, and at an after school K-8 group violin and viola program as a substitute teacher for the Harmony Program in Manhattan, and coaching the Stamford Young Artists’ Philharmonic for high school students in Stamford, CT. In April, 2013, I was invited to be an adjudicator for N.Y.S.S.M.A. to evaluate the elementary students’ violin and viola performances.
Instruments:
I usually start my violin students with Essential Elements books, and draw some technical points of beginning lessons from Suzuki method. I like to start students on a real piece of music as soon as possible so they can get a sense of accomplishment sooner than later. For adults, I am more flexible and will ask what it is they would like to learn, then I will use many of the same beginning techniques tailored for their own musical goals. Each of my students gets a journal to record weekly practice notes.
Instruments:
I actively have pedagogical practice as well as. I am currently Teacher of Violin, Piano, Guitare ,Music theory ,Composition, kids string ensemble. During the ten years of my teaching practice in the United States, I developed my own method and approach of learning to play the violin for beginners. The "Express " effective training Method of playing the VIOLIN: Everyone is able to do it! (Volume 1) I am also an expert on Eastern and Jewish music
Instruments:
A native of Duluth, Minnesota, I just recently moved to New York City from the Midwest. I started music lessons on the piano at the age of 3 in the Suzuki program. I later began violin lessons in school when I was 9 years old. I love chamber music and also playing in orchestras. Though I am classically trained, I am interested in many different styles and genres of music. I try to incorporate the musical interests of my students into lessons and the repetoire that we focus on.
Instruments:
I tailor my lesson plans specifically towards what each student wants and needs. Typically with very young children I will start with larger scale motions as it is difficult for them to place their tiny fingers on the instrument and coordinate. At that point my emphasis is on them having fun and avoiding any bad habits. I generally go through the motions with them so that they feel more confident. I encourage each student/parent to keep a journal of the lessons in order to record the lesson, track their achievements as well as assignments. I welcome anyone who prefers to record electronically. *** I do ask that parents attend the lessons with the children (especially young children). For shy, very busy, or far away individuals I will happily teach ONLINE! :)
