Shirley T

Instruments: Piano Violin

Few students get their position good and making a student confident. I talk to the student to work on their methods seriously like clapping the rhythm, going through the repertoire for their school and writing on down on music terms, fingerging, and listening. I go through my student for violin on looking at the posture of the instrument andthe bow. Most students quite because student have other plans and activities. Read More

Maximino T

Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet French Horn Piccolo Oboe

For stringed instruments, I uses the Suzuki method for teaching the basic repertory of the instruments. This method is an ear training method in which the student plays by ear. It starts out very simple so students of all ages can learn and progress very quickly. For learning to read music I use one of the method books like "A Tune a day" or Strictly Strings which teach the fundamentals of read music and music theory. Read More

Instruments: Violin

I have taught violin since the year 2011. My students have primarily been between the ages of 10-16 with the exception of one student being in her 40's. I have taught beginners to advanced beginners, and most of my students have to this point hired me to train for a particular upcoming audition. During the years of teaching, I have found that I truly enjoy watching students obtain the gift of being able to play music. Read More

Linda L

Instruments: Piano Violin

I use an organized step by step method as a general rule, depending on the students age and ability, seeking to have each student master the fundamentals of rhythm, note reading, technique and expression in a logical easy to understand way. I require practice at least 4 days a week to ensure progress. For preschool age children, I use the Wunderkeys method. I seek to minimize frustration, encourage students to e-mail with questions, use games as a learning tool and assign pieces they like and pieces that are standard repertoire. 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.
