Instruments: Violin Viola Electric Violin Fiddle
For my beginning students, I start out with a mixture of my own exercises, as well as basic songs using open strings, string crossings and rhythms, before moving to songs with basic fingerwork on one string (scale plus rhythm based). I usually supplement this beginning process with Essential Elements, before intruducing the Suzuki Method Book 1, Doflein Method Book 1, and rhythmic exercises from the Kodaly method. For my intermediate students, I use a mixture of Galamian bowing technique, emphasis on etudes and position work, Suzuki method, Barbara Barber scales and rep. books, and level-appropriate classical literature, combined with solo repetoire of the student's interest/choosing.

I'm an experienced and caring instructor who loves to see students empowered in their own creativity and excellence. I received my Bachelor's in Music Education from Ithaca College in 1988. I have recorded and released three projects so far that have received radio play internationally and been on the charts on college public radio. My travels performing music in the U.S. and beyond have enriched my life immeasurably and I love sharing the spark of imagination with my students. Read More
Instruments: Violin
I have been playing for over 11 years now. I began when I was in the 2nd grade and havent stopped it, I fell in love with it!! When I started middle school, my teacher from orchestra asked me to go into her class after my class with her and help out with the 6th graders. During that time, I helped the students tune their violins and took them out in sections to work on their parts and answer any questions they had on the piece they were working on. Read More

From experience, these are all the basic tools a student needs to work on their fundamentals before diving into full fledged solo pieces for competitions. Beginning students have to start from the bottom. These students will start by learning how to hold the violin and the bow, for example, and slowly but surely get into reading music and eventually playing simple scales and melodies from an elementary book. Some adults, however, may be interested in learning an instrument because they want to play a song they love. Read More
Instruments: Violin
I teach mainly out of the string builder series. After the student shows some progress I will introduce some solo pieces and maybe some studies to practice. My method really revolves around the student since everyone advances at their own pace. Some other method books could be Kreutzer, Sevcik, and wohlfhart. Some early pieces I could introduce would be Arcangelos Corelli's violin sonatas. Read More

I started teaching violin from the age of 20 privately and in recent years I have had experience of group teaching both in schools and animating Gypsy violin seminars. I like equally to guide the approach of young musicians to the instrument, and the improvement of advanced students. Given my experience in the field of folk and ethnic music i believe that have fun is a central part in learning music at any age. Read More

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My first student captured first place in the Orlando School of Rock n Roll. He started as a beginner with me where we played together during our sessions. I allowed him to venture more into new territory musically, where he then saw the light and subsequently went on to become a music teacher himself while expanding his talent, his view of music, and became passionate about guitar playing.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My best musical accomplishment , other than being fortunate to play next to great musicians has been my sense of playing with feeling, with dynamics that convey the emotion of the song to an audience or another person. My current passion is to not fill the musical space with notes, but play sparingly. BB King said"It's not what you play, its what you don't play." My best accomplishment if to learn when to fill the space, and when not to. That is what gives music life and takes it out of the notes on paper where it is possible to convey emotion to the people you are playing for.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
For me, I feel there is so much to still learn to master an instrument, any instrument.
The hardest thing to do is not getting in a rut. I love rock, swing, jazz, a great symphony. When you see the best musicians play, it is easy to get discouraged. '
So, I try to learn one small thing I can incorporate into my playing that helps me on improve my playing. l suggest to my students to go to YouTube to watch others play, then take the simple instructions on how to play it. Many songs and genres are available and frankly, very helpful.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
In the beginning my primary instrument was the piano because my mother played and seemed to enjoy it so much. Then, in my teen years I was inspired by the Beatles, Hermin Hermits and other popular groups of the 60's. Then, I learned the electric guitar. Loved it. I joined a band consisting of learning musicians like myself.
I played lead guitar playing at the Gulfport Casino and other teen dances. Eventually, I joined other bands like the Tempests and the Emotions, who were sought after throughout Florida teen dance establishments. This time was exciting musically, in both guitar playing and singing, as well as learning playing with feeling and song variations.
