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

Àpd 48.4 C$ /h

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! :)

Informations supplémentaires

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

Présentation

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.

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.
