Violin Lessons in Carroll Gardens. Amazing Teachers.

My name is Cedrick and I can't wait to meet you! I've been teaching private lessons since 2008 and have loved helping my students achieve their true potential and goals. I've played the violin for 23 years and I graduated from Felician University in 2013. I'm a enthusiastic, fun-loving person and my teaching style is tailored to the needs of my students.

As a violin and viola teacher, I provide a safe, positive, and nurturing environment for my students to learn. I want them to feel motivated and inspired, so they will grow up valuing music and appreciating the fine arts. My hope is that as active lifelong listeners and participants, they will continue to challenge themselves and be an inspiration to others.

MY PHILOSOPHY
My teaching philosophy embraces the ideas and principles I received from my own teachers that still guide me as a musician today. I believe that through practice and hard work, each student can succeed and have a sense of purpose and pride. I find that teaching always proves to be a mutually enriching experience between teacher, student, and parent.

MY GOAL
My essential goal is to bring each student to their full potential by equipping them with valuable tools such as techniques, exercises, musical phrasing, and interpretations, allowing them to find their own musical voice. Teaching, for me, is a constant ...

Scrupulous attention to the correct form and posture to avoid muscul tention; training music memory which allowes students to not only to perform music memorized, but also to strengthen and develope memory in geveral, which I believe to be conditional rather that innate, thus helping children to retain academic information efficiently and helping adults to fight memory loss due to aging. I also encourage students to participate in recitals which is exciting and gratifying as a goal achievement and helps to overcome stage fright which is essential in public performance in general including public speaking. I teach students of all ages starting at 2,5 years old to 90 years old and older.
