Best Violin Lessons in Garrett Park, MD

I do a variety of styles in music for the violin. I use whatever method (book or teaching style) is needed to teach what the student needs to learn. I have been teaching violin for 25 years. Depending on age, we will start in either Essential Elements or Suzuki. All beginners will start the bow after they can read the first 8 notes. All intermediates will be able to play 2 octave scales from 3 sharps to 3 flats as well as well into Wolfhart book 1. They will also be able to shift into third position cleanly and will be starting on vibrato. For Advanced players, we will be working on Concertos, sonatas, and partitas if they wish to go classical. IF they wish other styles, we will have started that in intermediate. All students will have an opportunity to go through the music development program, if they are interested.

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!

I've been teaching String Instruments like Guitar and Violin for Beginners and Intermediate level for many years.
In Teaching Violin for my beginner students, we usually review the basics of how to play the violin including how to hold the violin, violin tuning, violin fingering , violin bowing and violin care. My students also do warm-up to strengthen and improve their violin playing with violin scales, violin etudes, and violin exercises.
For my Intermediate violin students, we refresh our memory of the fundamentals of music theory such as how to read violin music, rhythm and key signatures.

Teach students of all ages and levels

I have been playing violin for 18 years and teaching for 8 years. I have been in schools orchestras, the Washington Youth Foundation orchestra where we have gone on to play at the Kennedy Center, and the Carnegie Hall in New York. I am also currently in the Washington Metropolitan Gamers Symphony Orchestra where we have performed at the F. Scott Fitzgerald Performance Theatre. I teach beginner and intermediate violin.

The violin has been a constant and enriching presence throughout my life, and I enjoy helping people engage with this instrument that is demanding and rewarding in equal measure. No matter your age or level of expertise, I would be happy to help you along as you discover new musical territory. I’m most fluent in the classical style, but am happy to explore other areas with you as well, from bluegrass to Broadway.

I have over 15 years of experience teaching students of all ages, abilities and needs. I know how to tailor lessons to meet the goals and expectations of students. I want the process of learning music to be pleasurable, and I actively demonstrate everything that I teach my students by playing with them so they can train their ears and learn proper technique. I teach the Suzuki method, which encourage students to listen to the pieces they are learning. I believe that learning music should be enjoyable, and I am here to aid in that process. In addition to teaching you the instrument, I will also teach how to read music, the elements of music theory, rythm and sight reading.

I teach students of all abilities to play and love the violin.

As a student of mine you can expect to improve your playing skills week to week. I can teach from the very first lesson on. Students will learn techniques to improve their playing and will play fun music. If you are interested in learning improvisation, I can help with that, too. I enjoy teaching violin, viola and cello.
I am most passionate about teaching students to become independent, critical thinking musicians who will be able to rely on their own knowledge to learn new music as they go along. I stress music reading, ear training, and strong fundamentals in playing. I am very encouraging, love spreading my love of music.

Hello future students! I am a B.S. in music major (second year) at Towson University who is currently looking for students.
