Violin with Elizabeth R.

I began piano lessons early in elementary school and continued for approximately 12 years. I have had training in technique, musical theory and classical playing, all of which I incorporate into my teaching. I also began playing the violin in 5th grade and took private violin lessons for 6 years, 5 of which were with Dr. Robert Gillespie (professor of music at Ohio State University and co-author of Essential Elements for Strings). When I began teaching the piano and violin, I had a number of lessons specifically regarding teaching methods and practices.
