Brinklow, MD Violin Lessons

Having more than 20 years of experience of playing violin including hundreds of performances around the world as well as studying with the renown teachers in Russia and US, I am combining the best traditions of classical training with my own unique approach . My lessons are fun and very productive. For me each student is very special and I am always finding the way to unlock the potential of each and everyone of them!

Detailed work and listening to what you are playing, inside and outside the lesson.

I'm a certified music teacher offering over ten years experience working with students in both western classical, and Iranian Traditional music. As an experienced Violin teacher I help students to teach themselves the violin, to understood that their playing only improves when they change habits. I have proper knowledge of the violin’s mechanics, general musical and repertoire knowledge, skilled as a player, and strength as a communicator.

I do not follow any specific teaching method. I teach they way you need to learn. I will customize your lessons to you and make adjustments as you learn.

All of my students learn to love playing violin first before getting into the nitty-gritty, which we do! My lessons are student-led, meaning, which ever level you are at is where we start and it's up to US to get you to the next level. Each week you will learn scales, exercises and performance repertoire. I have taught violin for thirteen years and my students have excelled by moving up chairs in school, participating in honors orchestras and more!

I teach violin lessons in English and/or Spanish for all levels. Vibrato Technic, Shifting Technic, Bow Technic, Note reading skills, Intonation, Recital Preparation, are just some of my specialties.

I have a lot of experience with the Suzuki method as a teacher and also a player having started with that myself. However unless the player or parent specifies that they want strict Suzuki, I go with my method which involves Suzuki but also other methods. I was not strict Suzuki and it definitely worked for me as well as students of mine!

I am a violin teacher in the Baltimore area with 10 years of experience teaching students of all ages. I use a variety of methods and materials, which are tailored to the individual needs of each student.

My goal as a teacher is to make sure my students feel comfortable with me and themselves. Playing an instrument is fun, and I want my students to feel the same joy I do about the instrument. I hope that my lessons will also give students the opportunity to express themselves, practice cognitive learning, and develop lifelong traits (diligence, perseverance, discipline) that will follow them forever.

Hey there! My name is Carly. I recently graduated from the University of Maryland with a duel degree in Environmental Science and Sociology. I've played the violin since I was six years old. I've been apart of several groups ranging from classical, hip hop, rock and musical theater.
I'm looking to help less experienced string players find their voice through music. I may not be the concert master of the BSO, but I am incredibly passionate about teaching my students. I believe I differ from other teachers because I base my lessons around the student's preferred learning method and personal goals. My ultimate goal for my students is to teach them self expression. Self expression is healing, incredibly useful, and fuels us with energy and creative thought. I often try to incorporate pieces my students are interested in learning because I believe this is the key to regular (and enjoyable) practice.

Currently I have a wide array of students. The youngest is 8 whereas the oldest is 73. ...
