Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Electric Violin Fiddle
Very calm, friendly and accomodating to students and parents. Every student is an individual personality with different background, age and ability and I use differentiated instuction for each of them to get the best out of them. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola
I tend to use the Suzuki Method for my students. I find that it helps create a solid foundation for the student and includes repertoire that is familiar to many. In addition to the Suzuki Method, I like to use etude books, duet books, and sight-reading books for those who are learning how to read music. I also like to incorporate Music Theory for all ages to gain more knowledge of how music works. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Music
I put great emphasis on establishing a very good control on the technique of violin. I do it by teaching students how to do scales and etudes while having fun and making themselves more motivated by setting their own goals and achieving them, which also builds up their confidence. After students get more and more in command of themselves and the violin, I would then proceed to help the students with their own repertoire and guide them to formulate their own musical ideas and make their own voice be heard!

I have been teaching using the Suzuki method for more than 20 years. I love working with young kids because I understand the value of introducing them to music at a young age. They will become fluent in a musical language that they will carry with them throughout their lives. For more advanced students, I enjoy the challenge of training them to produce a professional quality sound when they play advanced repertoire. Read More

Hello! My name is Alyssa. I can't wait to meet you! Experience: I've been teaching stringed instruments for over 6 years to many ages. I focus on the Suzuki method with the young children and I believe in strong fundamentals. Ear training is a wonderful gift that comes with the discipline of violin study. As the student's ear gets stronger, improvisational techniques can be taught. This allows for broader musicianship and enjoyment in learning. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
My teaching style is very organized, structured, but also with a creative approach. I believe in having fun while learning, but I do hold young artists accountable to accomplishing their weekly assignments/goals. My style has been developed over three decades, and I tailor my approach by getting to know each student individually. I take time to observe and understand the student's thinking style, learning style, method of communication, strengths, weaknesses, and motivation. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola
I began teaching in 2011 and have been consistently teaching since then. I began teaching in Cleveland, and eventually grew my studio to 60 students. This was a lot to handle, but I loved every second of it. Seeing and being a part of a student's progress is one of the most rewarding things I have experienced in my life. I like to make sure the student is having fun as well as staying focused on progress. Read More

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Not at all! I was motivated to learn violin after my older sister started lessons as a child, but beyond that none of my parents, grandparents, or extended family played music. I firmly believe music is not hereditary, but it can help motivate students to learn if someone close to them plays music. Long after my sister stopped playing violin, I continued on to become a professional.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I never wanted to learn the viola, but one semester in college, I was assigned to play the viola part in a Piano Quintet. I had to learn Alto Clef, and adjust to the bigger size of the instrument. But I am glad that I did because it helped me be a better violinist, and I loved the deeper, darker register of the viola!
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Violin Performance. As a young man, I chose this degree because I couldn't imagine myself in any other field. Through studying music, I found myself. I wouldn't be the man I am today otherwise.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I first heard Ralph Vaughan Williams "Lark Ascending" on the radio while driving home from High School. I had to pull over to wipe the tears from my eyes. Ever since, the piece has represented everything I love about music. I would feel honored to perform it and share its tenderness with an audience.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
This can vary for each child, but here are some signs to look for:
1) If they ask to start lessons, they are ready.
2) If they can read and write, they are ready.
3) If they enjoy singing and dancing, they are ready.
Any child can learn a musical instrument!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I always start with my warm-up scale routine. I may vary it slightly, but I find starting with scales and exercises helps my body open up to playing and puts me in a good headspace. The consistency and familiarity are comforting for me and help me feel confident to practice harder things afterward. Then I move to my pieces: I like to start with something easier, but if I have less time I try to prioritize whatever is most important or will take the most time to learn.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Form a regular practice routine. This can mean many different things: some musicians find it helpful to practice at the same time of day, or practice things in the same order. It is important to always tune your instrument beforehand. And most of all, make sure you enjoy what you do! Even if it is challenging and often tedious, there is a joy in learning the craft of music. Find it in the repetitions, the metronome, the learning process.
