Our music lesson students will have the opportunity to take lessons from the comfort of their own home or in one of the teachers studios. Careful attention is placed on each student to ensure a custom lesson plan. Our music teachers understand that every student has different needs and abilities and therefore the lessons will be planned with that knowledge in mind.
lessons are available in the following areas:
Instruments: Violin, Viola
I am comfortable teaching out of various method books. I have primarily used Hal Leonard's Essential Elements for Strings, as well as Alfred's Sound Innovations for Strings. I have also used All for Strings and Artistry in Strings. If a student has a method book already, then I will work with them out of that book. If not, then I like to start with my own supplemental activities (flash cards, worksheets, playing by rote, etc) and build up to using a book. Read More
Instruments: Violin, Viola
For younger students (less than 5), I think Suzuki method would probably work best! We would focus on small exercises to establish good posture and sound while learning mainly through imitation and listening. When a student is able, I do encourage some theory as to read music fluently and gain understanding of basic musical concepts. At this age, I also encourage weekly technical exercises (scales, etudes) to improve ability and fluidity of playing. Read More
Instruments: Violin, Viola, Music
What makes my teaching unique is that I embark on a musical journey with my students to discover how music can support their individual interests and needs. It is important to develop a healthy and productive approach to learning an instrument. In turn, it makes the learning process enjoyable and rewarding for the student. I expect my students to practice consistently with attainable and focused goals because it links one lesson to the next. Read More
Instruments: Violin
Throughout my studies and now professional career, I have had the opportunity to work with such musical greats as Wynton Marsalis, Giora Schmidt, Philip Setzer, and Caroline Goulding. In 2014, I had the opportunity to tour Spain. I have also performed at the Strathmore Music Center outside Washington, DC, and at the Kimmel Center and Academy of Music in Philadelphia. In my spare time, I love playing video games, flipping through cookbooks looking for new recipes to try, and thinking about how wonderful pets are. Read More
Instruments: Violin, Cello, Viola
I started teaching while I was a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University. I taught part time private lessons and worked for a Saturday Morning music program teaching Strings and Music Theory. I have taught in public schools for 12 years teaching strings/orchestra to elementary, middle and high school students. I have taught students individually, in small groups and in large groups and orchestras. I have adjudicated at competitions and festivals and taught private lessons in violin, cello and viola over the last 20 years. Read More
