Instruments:
I have been a classical concert violinist performing mostly in the Northeastern area for the past few years. I have more experience performing than teaching, but am passionate about music and have been interested in communciating the real meaning behind the composer's intentions in both my performances and in my conversations with the audience. I always explain my programs to audience members during the concert, and over the years, I have come to realize the importance of a musical education in all people's lives, whether or not they decide to take up music as their vocation. As a musician, my desire is to communicate the composer's intentions, and my desire as a teacher is to enable the student to find the joy and meaning of the music themselves.
Instruments:
It's very important to me to keep a strong curriculum and honor efficiency in the lesson, but at the same time allow each student to progress at their own rate according to their individual physique and personalities. For kids, I strive to keep the lessons FUN and entertaining as well as highly informative and educational. I always tailor my lesson plan to the individual, based on personality, age, and what they want to get from me!
Instruments:
I like to make learning an instrument an enjoyable experience and allow students to progress at their own pace. I also introduce them to different styles of music such as classical, folk, broadway musicals and popular songs. In addition I teach students new skills and techniques to enhance their playing abilities.
Instruments:
For very beginning students, I usually start with the Suzuki Method Books and All For Strings Comprehensive String Method Books. I usually encourage my students to read music, but for the youngest students I start by playing with them and having them copy me. Once they are ready, I start teaching them basic music theory that will help them read music. For intermediate to advanced players I institute a routine of practicing scales and etudes as well as a solo piece that is appropriate for their ability level. I try to keep lessons fun and always encourage my students to bring me any music they are interested in learning. I am mainly a classical musician, and therefore will mainly teach a classical style, but I also enjoy playing other genres of music and will try to incorporate some fun alternatives to classical in our lessons.
