Instruments:
Experience teaching all levels at all ages, from the beginning child to the aspiring conservatory student, the adult who's always wanted to learn how to play an instrument or the professional looking to brush up on past musical skills. Tailors the lesson to fit the student's needs and temperament; believes two important aspects of teaching are patience and dedication. Equally adept at both violin and viola, plays viola professionally in orchestras throughout the New York area.
Instruments:
Melissa is an active violinist in New York City. With great finesse and versatility, she has performed everywhere from the Boston Symphony Hall with Savion Glover to Lincoln Center to one of the last remaining juke joints in Mississippi. Recent performances have taken Melissa throughout the U.S. accompanying violinist, fiddler, and composer Mark O'Connor on piano, and abroad to Japan, Mexico, Jamaica, and the U.K. Melissa is a dedicated teacher, is certified in both the O'Connor and Suzuki Methods, and is on the faculty at the Third Street Music School Settlement in Manhattan and the Mark O'Connor/Berklee College of Music Summer String Program in Boston.When not rehearsing, performing, recording, or teaching, Melissa can often be found fiddling away at a bluegrass jam session. She resides in Manhattan, where she happily feeds her addictions to coffee and yoga.
Instruments:
I am a professional violinist and violist based in the Tri-State area with a passion for helping people discover and accomplish their musical goals. I have been playing the violin for over 25 years and I feel very fortunate to be able to do what I really love. I hold a Master's and Bachelor's Degree in Violin Performance from the Manhattan School of Music. I have had the great fortune of performing at world renowned venues such as Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall, and Avery Fisher Hall in New York, as well as Constitution Hall in Washington DC.
Instruments:
I enjoy teaching those who wish to learn. The most important thing that a teacher can teach a student is fundamentals - i.e. the basics. The fundamentals do one very important thing - enable the student to execute. When you get on stage you might be nervous, but I can guarantee you will know exactly what to do and that knowledge will calm you down enough to enjoy the experience. The musical aspect of playing, I believe, is something you either have or don't. I can coach you, of course, on what I believe is the way to play a phrase; however, in the end that really shouldn't be my job (nor anyone else's).
Instruments:
I am an active composer- violinist of acoustic music. My compositions have been selected for national and international performances, music festivals forums and conferences ( 27 countries ). Some of my compositions have been published in prestige publishing houses of USA, France, Russia and Belgium. In addition to composing, I perform on violin and piano (Library Congress Wash.DC), (United Nations) NYC
