Teaching and performing violin are two of my most favorite ways to occupy my time, only after spending time with and taking care of my family.

For beginner students who are children, I usually start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has grasped the fundamentals, I will introduce solo repertoire suited for his or her first recital performance. I introduce etudes to the students after the student demonstrates the ability to play several simple pieces well. For intermediate and advanced students, I typically do not let them play a piece at a certain grade level until they have finished playing one piece one grade level below that. Read More

My name is Victoria S. I am very passionate about teaching violin. I am a certified Suzuki book teacher which is the method I use to teach. I have played violin for over 10 years and I love working with kids and making violin special to them. I took lessons until I was 16ish at EMU preparatory music program. I was always taught the Suzuki method which is a very good teaching method for many instruments because they teach notes later on and we play by ear at first. Read More

I try to cater to the each student's particular needs. For beginning students that are children I typically start with the Essential Elements Strings Book 1 in combination with Suzuki first book. As every student progresses at a different pace, I adjust my teaching curriculum accordingly. Having that in mind, I decide on the next step, usually some solo repertoire, as well as some more etudes and scales.  For adults, I tend to go with what they are particularly interested in, as well as incorporating learning basic music reading and playing skills.
