Teaching Style

I have been an active freelancing violinst in the metropolitan New York area, U.S. for the past 25 more years. I have been teaching violin for over 25 years, both in individual and small group (4to6students) settings. I am commited to teaching violin students of all ages, from 5years old and up, all levels.  Beginning students will learn to read notes that are corresponding to the finger they are learning, as well as learn to read and notate rhythms. Songs and additional short exercises will be used as supplementary materials In the beginner level, we will cover D,G,C and F major in 1octave. For Intermediate and advance students, materials will be tailored to the student's needs. I also help students with auditions and exams preparations.

Since the pandemic started, I find that it,s more benefitual to have students send in a short practice video during midweek, in addition to their weekly lessons, for me to give feedbacks.  It reinforce specific skill tasks we are working on and promote good practice habits. I also can supplement the lessons with short tutorials demonstrating and explaining the skill sets.
