Nori D

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Electric Violin

Teaching is my passion. I started playing the violin at the age of 6 years old. Music gave me confidence in school and in my life. When I was in elementary school I found out that reading comprehension was difficult for me and so I had to get tutoring. I was very strong in music and that boosted my confidence in school. I have a lot of patience because of this but I also have high standards because I know what my students are capable of doing. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonards Essential Elements book, as well a basic understanding of music. Once the student has progressed to have a nice grasp of the fundamentals of music, I usually begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. I also believe in the importance of listening to as many professional recordings as possible of the instrument the student is taking lessons on. Read More

Candace W

Instruments: Violin Electric Violin Fiddle Music

I have experience teaching in many facets. I began working with kids as a full-time nanny and then went into teaching in a Kindergarten classroom, and proceeded to teaching music for all ages. I am very intuitive and experienced with seeing where a student is at, meeting their needs as a teacher and student individually first, and then growing them into a musician from there. It is important to me that each family knows I care about them as people and as my students. Read More

I have a general structure of teaching I used with all students and personalize lessons accordingly; 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.
