Instruments:
Beginning students - Children: I will begin with either Suzuki or Essential Elements for the initial learning process. I focus on form and producing a clear, clean sound. Once they are more comfortable with the physical aspect of holding the instrument and producing a nice sound, I will add scales, arpeggios, and Etudes (exercises), as well as eventually adding music from the classical repertoire. I would also be open to working on pop music/current music if the student needs more motivation and tends to be bored by only classical. Beginning Adults: I generally teach young adults/adults the same way I teach children. But if their dedication is apparent and they are willing to work harder (put in more practice time vs children) I will teach more material during the lessons and make it possible for the student to learn more quickly (only if I see their practice time and dedication allows this).
Instruments:
I have been teaching for the past 11 years and have had a full studio of 20-25 students during that time. Over the past four summers I have also directed chamber music and fiddle music camps. I specialize in starting very young children on the violin, as young as age 2, although depending on the child starting between ages 3-6 is ideal. It is very important to me to tailer my teaching to each student and their developmental and musical level. I love introducing children to new musical concepts and coming alongside them on this often life-long musical journey. There is unique relationship that forms during private music lessons, one that can have a large impact on the student, and I take that responsibility very seriously. That said, I like to make learning to play the violin as fun and easy as possible without sacrificing fundamental technique. I have had great sucess with various practice stragegies and find my students are highly motivated by these. I encourage performing at a young age and often, along with participating in music festivals and, as they become older, youth orchestras and chamber groups.
Instruments:
I was born and raised in New York City. All my life I have been passionate about the arts and music is certainly one of my greatest passions. I started studying classical violin at the age of 6 at the Third Street Music school in New York. (studied under the Suzuki method). Along my travels as a student I have also attended music camps such as Kinhaven and Interlochen and was a member of the New York Youth Symphony during my senior year in high school. Currently I make a living as a musician. I perform gigs around town as a soloist playing various genres - classical to pop. I teach out of my home studio (currently setting up the studio and can have my first student mid October, 2016)
Instruments:
For my beginning violin studetns, I have a custom set of books that I use in order to successfully set my students up with a solid foundation for technique and the ability to read notation. For the intermediate student, we will focus on thoroughly learning msuic in the first three Suzuki method books. Once the Suzuki method books are completed, we will begin our first sonanta and standard violin concerto.
