By Keiko C. - Los Angeles Violin Teacher
So you’re ready to take violin lessons in Los Angeles. How do you know which teacher to pick? Do you choose by location and convenience? Experience and merit? Although the proximity, availability, price and gender of your instructor are all important factors to consider in your decision process, I think the personality of your instructor will be the most influential component.
Think about orange chicken. It has a perfectly tangy sauce, simmered slowly in a traditional Chinese pan with a hint of spice and melt-in-your-mouth, sweet tangerine peel. One restaurant is next-door and serves it spicy. The other is a 5-minute walk, but the chicken is tangier. We all want the best, and when there are two good choices we may sacrifice a little more time, a little more money, and a little convenience to get the better experience.
Music instructors are a little more unique in their own flavor and ingredients they put into their lessons than good old orange chicken. We run our business with our personalities. In the same way you can choose to be fed with a mouth-watering plate of food in a friendly hole-in-the-wall or a formal upscale dining room, teaching styles will vary from a playful and nurturing environment to a more disciplined and mature setting. Before starting your violin lessons in Los Angeles, consider what type of experience you hope to have and what type of instructor is best suited to your personality. Learning an instrument takes teamwork so it’s crucial that you understand your instructor’s methods of communication, and feel comfortable with their personality. The more enjoyable the lesson, the more worthwhile the musical experience.
I have been playing violin for over 17 years, and have been teaching violin lessons in Los Angeles to students of all ages and levels for over 12 years. My style is fairly relaxed, and I expect effort over perfection and some silliness over seriousness. I've found that this approach fits anyone who is learning to play the violin because they enjoy it, and I won't stick to any one genre because I think it keeps things interesting to mix it up. I have extensive experience in classical performance, rock/pop, tango, jazz, blues and Irish violin - all of which I can draw upon to tailor my students' lessons. Learning the music you like is the most satisfying experience.
