    Violin Lessons in English for all levels: complete beginners welcome!

    I believe in a holistic music teaching style! This means I teach music by ear and using sheet music. Ideally, my students will learn to enjoy making music with their instrument and be able to hear the progress they are making each week. We will learn how to read music, music theory, and musical pieces at your level. I always teach in a student-focused way: what the student gets excited about is what I will teach! I teach classical music, jazz and various kinds of folk music. I have taught children for several years and I have experience teaching people of all ages. I really look forward to teaching you and working with you! :)

    Extra information

    Please bring your violin and any music you are currently working on. If you are just beginning, just bring your instrument!

    About Me

    I am a classically trained violinist and violist from the US. I was trained with the Suzuki method and I am currently obtaining my Suzuki teacher training. I believe in holistically training students to play their instruments so that playing music can become like a second language. I will teach both ear training and with sheet music. I will also teach music theory, sight-reading, rhythm and various other skills that are necessary for musicians.

    I will always focus on the student's needs and structure our lessons around what the student is most interested in. Not only do I play classical music but I have also been trained by some of the foremost folk and jazz violinists and musicians in the US and I will happily teach any genre from classical, to jazz to different kinds of folk music (Scottish, Irish, Old-time, bluegrass, etc.).

    My students will walk away from our lessons feeling like they are making progress, feeling like they are learning a new way of looking at playing their instrument, and hopefully feeling excited and inspired :)

    Education

    I attended Oakland School for the Arts, a selective youth arts school. I graduated from Berkeley High School with a 3.9 GPA and having played in the jazz and orchestra programs there. I now attend university in Berlin.

    Experience / Qualifications

    I have played violin seriously since I was 5 years old. I have years of experience teaching kids and I have also taught adults of all ages and all levels from beginner to advanced. I have extensive performance experience with chamber groups, chamber and symphony orchestras, as well as jazz big bands, jazz combos, and different arrangements of folk and jazz trios and quartets. I have released 2 albums with my Americana band, Jubilee with whom I have gone on tours and performed at several festivals across the US. I have also worked in a jazz recording project placed in the top 3 original compositions at the Monterrey Jazz Festival. Additionally, I have recorded several tracks on an album produced by Grammy-award winning musician Laurie Lewis.

    I won Best Soloist award at the Santa Cruz Jazz Festival and was placed in the California All-State Orchestra. In addition, I have had a master class with the Kronos Quartet, and performed on stage with Grammy-award winning and nominated musicians Sierra Hull, Darol Anger and Mike Marshall, and Väsen.

    VIOLIN LESSONS FOR ALL LEVELS. Individual and collective lessons. Innovative method and fast learning.
    Even if you are a total beginner looking to enter the magical world of music or if you want to improve your violin technique and develop your artistic potential, let's achieve your goals together, always with a smile, making this experience a joyful, vibrant and stimulating one. My teaching style is a mix of the Russian violin school and a fresh modern musical pedagogy approach. Individual lessons plan for each student, according to your specific level, goals, and expectations. Studying the violin can have interesting side-effects of personal development and usually helps to: 1. Establish a deeper relationship with music: being "in music" 2. Become more curious and competitive users: expanding an aesthetic sensitivity, widening the field of one's musical interests, refining the artistic taste 3. Express oneself (identity, relationship with one's emotions, self-narration) 4. Consolidate self-esteem by experiencing your limits 5. Build self-discipline, developing self-organization skills and a sense of responsibility 6. Learn to respect collective rules, integrate and collaborate with others in harmony, like in an orchestra. 7. Develop attention and concentration activities 8. Compose experiences of integration between mind and body, between affectivity, logic, and sensoriality 9. Refine perceptual and psychomotor skills (coordination, proprioception, body observation) 10. Develop analytical and cognitive skills 11. Develop expressive and creative attitudes

    Violin Lessons - Private lessons for all ages. Individual lessons geared towards each individual student.
    After studying violin and piano in Boston, at New England Conservatory with Eric Rosenblith, Master Classes with Dorothy DeLay, chamber music with Leslie Parnas and Burton Fine, as well as other Juilliard teachers and studies with Robert Soetens in France, I have been fortunate to enjoy over twenty years of teaching violin, viola and piano students. I am currently teaching in Central Florida as well as online through my Unique Musicality curriculum business. My initial studio experience began during my education at New England Conservatory, where I began teaching young students in the Boston area. Later, I was able to give master classes, private and group lessons in France and Asia as a member of touring orchestras. I currently teach lessons as well as providing master classes for select students and organizations. For the past two summers, I was a coach and performer at the Assisi Performing Arts Chamber Music Festival in Assisi, Italy. I have also been a judge in various Youth Symphony competitions as well as civic organizations that hold music competitions, such as the Kiwanis Club Arts and Music competition. My students have achieved entrance into summer conservatory programs including Peabody’s Music Summer Camp, Emory University’s Atlanta Chamber Music Festival, Franklin Pond Summer Intensive Chamber music program, Assisi Italy Performing Arts Chamber Music Festival, as well as continuing their college studies at Music Schools and Conservatories.
