NYC violin lessons with caring, creative teacher!

About Me

I graduated from Mannes College of Music with a BS in violin performance. While at Mannes, I was a student of Sally Thomas and other primary teachers include Amy Barlowe and Oscar Ravina. I have had chamber music studies with Ann Setzer, Peter Prosser, Chin Kim, Gena Raps, and members of the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and NY Philharmonic. Masterclasses include those with Cho-Liang Lin, Pamela Frank, and Ida Kavafian. I am graduate of the Mannes Pre-College division Honors program and alumna of ...

Lesson Details

I generally try to tailor my teaching approach based on a student's individual goals, but with a strong emphasis on proper technique. I have the most experience teaching Suzuki method, but am able to teach more traditional methods as well in order to address the developmental level of my pupil. I expect my students to come in with a positive attitude towards and willingness to learn.

I also emphasize strong parental involvement with my younger students in accordance with Suzuki philosophy, and strongly encourage free communication between parents and myself.

Kira has been a Long Island City private music instructor for TakeLessons since 2010. Kira is a certified local music teacher.

Subjects Taught

Violin Music Theory Viola

My Specialties

I specialize in classical playing and primarily teach using the Suzuki method. I am registered with the Suzuki Association of America and have training in books 1 - 3, but am flexible enough to assist a student seeking to branch out. For those not interested in Suzuki, I am also able to teach via more traditional methods. Additionally, I have an extensive educational background in music theory.

My Education

Mannes Pre-College Division - Violin Performance - 2001 - 2004 (Degree received)
Mannes College of Music - Violin Performance - 2004 - 2009 (Bachelor's degree received)
