I posses an extensive classical music and music pedagogy training. All my musical knowledge and expertise was attained in Eastern Europe.

Over the years I taught basic piano, the beginner violin, viola, cello and a variety of school instruments such as recorder and xylophone. I also teach advanced music theory, harmony and basics of composition and orchestral arranging required for music colleges. I especially
find it rewarding working with beginners and the opportunity to show them the amazing world of listening, playing and making music.
The teaching begins with identifying student's musical needs, goals and tastes. Students are taught a stimulating, thorough, and graduated course of recital solos, theory, technical studies, and classic repertoire. For those wishing to pursue more of a classical approach to music, there are proven methods to accomplish that goal established by European master teachers and pedagogues. Also, I can teach the know-how of Jazz and Blues though gradual lessons that cover basic theory, scales and chords up to melody and harmony development.

About Andrea P.
Close
I work with students to improve both their technique and musicality. The technique that I teach emphasizes ease of movement, which helps violinists both avoid injury and control their playing. We work on this technique through exercises like scales and through the pieces of music that students work on. I give students pieces of music that target both their interest and level, (challenging but not too challenging) in order to inspire confidence in and excitement about their playing.
About Andrea
Hello, my name is Andrea. I am a student at Yale Law School and I have been playing violin for close to 20 years. Both my parents were music teachers and my dad is a professor at Westminster Choir College, so I grew up listening to the great classical composers like Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, and Debussy. I have experience playing violin in ensembles including New Jersey All State Orchestra and Interlochen World Youth Symphony Orchestra. I taught violin prior to law school and have continued to teach here in New Haven. Teaching is rewarding for me because I enjoy helping students grow as musicians and because I consider sharing music with others to be very valuable. I look forward to sharing music with you!

About Maya
Hi everyone,
My name is Maya and I'm a viola player and teacher. I love music and believe we should all be playing an instrument or sing. I started with a violin and piano and then chose the viola when I was 17. After much work, I finally received my Doctorate in Music from Boston University and now looking to work with motivated young students!

About Elizabeth F.
Close
I have been playing the violin for 29 years, and have been teaching for 16. I am very friendly and personable, and teach to the individual student's needs and desires after basic skills are learned. Want to play classical? We can. Want to play show tunes? We can. Want to play pop music? We can. I believe that you learn best by playing, and I believe in positive reinforcement. I teach children from age 7, and all ages of adults, beginners to advanced. I have performed professionally for many years, and have experience in overcoming performance anxiety. I coach for auditions, but love to teach students who want to learn for the sake of enjoyment too.
About Elizabeth
Fun, friendly private violin teacher who teaches to the student's goals, whatever they may be! Ages 7 and up, any level of student. What music do you love? Once we've learned the basics, we can start playing whatever you want. Positive reinforcement. Very personable, former students are still my friends. Graduated Magna Cum Laude with my AA in Performing Arts: Music degree, and was a member of several honors groups.

"Not only is Andrea an exceptional violinist, but she's also a wonderful teacher. I had never taken any violin lessons before going to her, and after sever
