Georgetown, CT Violin Lessons

Instructions are based on custom curriculum for every student. The curriculum is based on student's desires and abilities and compiled from multiple sources.

I teach violin at the New School for Leadership and the Arts, mostly to novice players, and I have experience teaching violin to children of all ages.

My primary instrument is guitar, which I've played for about 25 years in many different bands, styles, and genres. I studied music and classical guitar at University of Central Florida, and during that time I also helped teach violin to a class of third graders. I'm not a pro violinist, but I have plenty of experience working with novice players, helping them develop proper technique, sight reading, ear training, and other skills needed to advance to the next level.

Playing the violin is easy, once you realize that it is a kind of singing! Although it has perhaps the most complicated technique of any instrument, it is simple once you understand the focus of the technique.

Experienced violin, viola and piano teacher of 30+ years available for eager students of all experience levels and ages! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of reading, theory and performance skills. I specialize in classical music. I use a variety of methods and literature all dependent on personal need and style of each student.

Every lesson will be taught according to the student's needs. There will be the basic structure of improving upon technique and musicality but discovering a love of playing the violin will come first!

An organized, clear approach applicable to all levels. Develop a strong technical foundation, learn how to avoid injuries and tension while playing, create a beautiful sound and express yourself through music. Teaching tailored to your level and needs - learn repertoire and a variety of styles.

I don't have much to add after what you've already read. I love teaching and hope my enthusiasm will be contagious. You are free to record a video your lessons to help you practice more efficiently at home and to tell me whatever else you need to help you learn. Every teacher wants their students to practice as much as possible but I focus on how to help you learn quickly because many of you have very busy lives. Whatever time you have I'll help you make the most of it.

From Beginners to Auditioners, I love to teach and help you grow! I use student friendly materials that include learning by playing duos and choosing pieces that help you move forward. If you have an audition coming up and need help preparing I am happy to work on any pieces with you. If you have holes in your technique I
will give you the answers to help fix them.

Hi! My name is Jaclyn and I am a professional violinist who has spent the last four years performing in New York City. I have had the honor of performing as a soloist and a chamber musician in some of New York's most sought after venues including Steinway Hall. I have also performed in a number of pit orchestras including an off broadway production of Carousel. I am also a studio musician and have done a number of commercials. I work frequently with composers working on new classical music as well as with rock and alternative musicians. I bring my wide variety of experience as well as my passion for creative and collaborative learning to my teaching. I appreciate learning music from a more well rounded perspective looking at theory, history, and performance practice.
