Best Violin Lessons in Hockessin, DE

All matters will be discussed prior to lesson/In lesson. Please message me about availability.

Through the lessons I help students on understanding the fundamentals of music theory, creating an ideal sound, musical expression and coordination.
Every student is different. I work with students individually and use different approaches for each one of them. Such as methods, repertoire and lesson skills.
But most important of all, I always make sure that my student does not loose interest and have fun making music!

Violin is my primary instrument I can teach violin students from the very beginning to the college level. I will happily work on any style of violin music with you!

I've been teaching violin for over 20 years and my students have gone on to play in youth orchestras, attend PMEA and ASTA events or go to college as a music major. Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to improve your playing skills and as time goes on you'll be able to play at a more advanced level. I specialize in Traditional Classical violin, typically use Essential Elements 2000, Samuel Applebaum methods, Suzuki methods and traditional scales and etude books. I have the following tools available for your lessons: Metronome, Tuner, rosin and my music library. I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!

Teaching beginner and intermediate students classical violin.

Jenny (Jingwei) Li is a Duke University graduate and part-time professional violinist based in the Philadelphia area. She is interested in helping students learn (and find true joy & meaning in) music. Highly insightful, kind, and flexible, Jenny aims to incorporate a multidisciplinary approach into her teaching and hopes to make music lessons as affordable as possible to all students.

I usually work with children or teenagers and I can teach someone who has never played an instrument before as well as intermediate players. I use a variety of books that teach theory, rhythm and playing songs such as the Suzuki method, I Can Read Music, the String Builder series and Winning Rhythms by Edward Ayola. For the pieces I focus on a routine to prepare and perform "performance ready" pieces so students gain confidence in their playing and know the level of expectation for what a professional polished piece sounds like.
For complete beginners I focus a lot on the correct positioning because that is the base for playing and it is very hard further down the line to change a bad habit related to positioning.
For more advanced players I focus on the core skills such as intonation and the ability to read notes and rhythms but I also incorporate how to add musicality and flare to a piece so that it is emotional and interesting to listen to.

I completed my studies at the Royal Academy of Music, London, where I completed BMus, MMus and PhD degrees in Violin Performance. I am an active performer as well as a committed teacher, with over ten years' experience in teaching the violin and music theory. I offer a student-centered approach, taking each student as an individual with unique strengths and weaknesses. I work together with my students not only to make them into better violinists, but confident and well-rounded musicians as well.

Experienced teacher, teaching for 20 years at universities as well as beginner and intermediate students. Building a strong foundation and cultivating musical expression, I have successfully prepared students for auditions and helped them pursue their goals. Lessons are customized to the needs of each student. All ages and levels, professional or for fun are welcome!
