Brandon E

Instruments: Violin Viola

With consistent practice and lessons I’ve had success with having some of my youngest students start with Mozarts twinkle little star and in 2-3 years play at a very high level with skill, artistry and reading abilities in Suzuki books 4/5 Vivaldi Concertos. Students start off with a box violin to focus on posture and ear training right away. Once some of the fine motor skills are established, we transfer these skills directly to the violin, and begin create sound on the instrument. Read More

Isaac T

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Accordion

I want to figure out what inspires a student. We will hone in on personal goals and use that as a basis for instruction. Motivation is key! I typically use a style of traditional classical instruction. Including scales, studies, and repertoire. I teach sight reading and ear training. I use memorization, and critical listening skills. I can teach from the beginning levels all the way up to concert playing. I can also teach other genres of music if the student desires. Read More

Jordan K

Instruments: Violin Cello Viola

I became the musician I am today because I was privileged to have many mentors who not only provided me with excellent technical training and numerous rare opportunities, but also with strong motivation and clear emotional guidance. Now I strive to be that kind of mentor and teacher for my students, engaging each one on a personal level, and providing the kind of opportunities for growth that my teachers provided for me.

Rachel R

Instruments: Violin Viola

I started teaching while I was in college. There is this program at my university that allows music majors to teach private lessons and after school programs. Since I was interested in pursuing a career in music education, this was the perfect learning opportunity for me. This is where I really found that I love teaching private lessons. I love seeing my students grow, especially when they were having a hard time grasping a certain concept. Read More

To see a student progress while enjoying their music journey is a teachers main task. More importantly, establishing a solid practice schedule is pivot in developing ones musical ability. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Grace R

Instruments: Violin Viola

When will I start to see results?
Every student learns at a different pace, and violin is a particularly difficult instrument to begin. You should see results after the very first lesson because your child will learn to hold the instrument, learn the string names, and the different parts of the violin. Ideally there will be progress after every single lesson, but in order to instill the teacher's points, students must be practicing throughout the week. Even 15 minutes a day of reviewing your previous lesson is better than no practice at all.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Set goals for each practice session. If you know what you want to accomplish during your practice time, you are much more likely to be efficient. Don't attempt to play through pieces without first working on the smaller details. You should think about different points each time you practice a passage. First think about your intonation and left hand, then move your focus to your bowing and right hand, then make decisions on dynamics and musicality. If you break down the small details, you will be able to put the bigger picture together more efficiently.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing for beginners to master on the violin is the coordination it takes to make a sound with your bow in your right hand while using your left hand to place different notes on the fingerboard. Holding the violin feels unnatural to a lot of people at first which causes bad habits to form. As an instructor I make sure to curb those bad habits to make playing the violin feel as natural as possible. Once students understand the relationship of their right and left arms in regards to making a sound on the violin, the skill becomes easier and easier.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Ideally my students are proficient in their alphabet and have an attention span of at least 15 minutes.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My second violin teacher inspired me greatly to go into music. She was a professional working violinist (like I am now), and I always thought it was so exciting that I got to learn from a real violinist. My teacher was in different bands, played in churches, and performed at all different types of events. Because I saw how much she was working and how interesting her life was, I was able to see what a successful music career looked like. She also inspired me to think about teaching other people. When you are so focused on your music career, sometimes you overlook the opportunities you have to spread your knowledge to others. Because she was such an amazing musician and teacher, I was able to follow in her footsteps of being an instructor and working violinist.
