Chelsea, NY Violin Lessons

I have been playing violin for more than 12 years and have passed the highest violin performance level test (Grade 10). I have once played in an orchestra and took many performance competitions in China. Now I have been teaching children and adults in bay area to play the violin for years. I would like to share my experiences with you :)

I am a very patient person and enjoy communicating with people. I offer one-on-one private violin lessons at your place or in my home studio. I am teaching students who want to learn an instrument for fun to entertain themselves, or for a even higher goal to achieve their music pursuing in the future. You will learn rhythms, melody, harmony, dynamics etc with me, and we will also have a chance to dig deep into the functions and principals of various performing techniques on a step-by-step learning progress. I will introduce a most-fit teaching material to you, with a lot of supplementary sheet music also provided in order to bring more fun and/or ...

Experienced violin, viola and piano teacher of 30+ years available for eager students of all experience levels and ages! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of reading, theory and performance skills. I specialize in classical music. I use a variety of methods and literature all dependent on personal need and style of each student.

Ms. Nicole teaches students of all ages and skill levels. Students focus on rhythm, ear training and the geography of their instrument. She then focuses on setting up a solid foundation of technique and understanding of the music being played. Having a solid understanding of what is being played, as well as the ability to effectively portray this on your instrument, opens up a more rewarding and effective experience with music.

I have been teaching for over 18 years. I also performed solo recitals, chamber music concerts, and orchestras nationally and internationally for over 18 years. I have performed with Fort Wayne Philharmonic, Illinois Symphony Orchestra, Rockford Symphony, Civic Orchestra of Chicago, Hong Kong Philharmonic, China National Symphony Orchestra and more. I approach each student as a unique and promising artist. I help them set individual goals, then plan and prepare lesson materials tailored for what he or she intends to achieve. I encourage them to work hard, dream big, and enjoy the rewards of learning and performing music.

Every lesson will be taught according to the student's needs. There will be the basic structure of improving upon technique and musicality but discovering a love of playing the violin will come first!

Ruth has taught violin for over 30 years. She has taught over 2000 private students as well as a violin class at an elementary school for four years.

I have been playing violin since the age of 6. One day I had to make the difficult decision choosing between violin and piano, because both instruments are very dear to me. I chose violin as my primary instrument for its lyrical qualities and closeness to human voice. At the age of 13 I won the Saint Petersburg Violin Competition and performed with the Saint Petersburg Philharmonic.
I am excited to share my love for this instrument with my students no matter what age they are. I see each person as an individual who has their own artistic voice and I will help you to further develop it.
I have won Gartoff International Violin Competition, Freiburg International Violin Competition, Dalhousie Solo Competition, Halifax Rose Bowl, Roosevelt Violin Competition and most recently competed in Schoenfeld International String Competition in Harbin, China, where my quartet placed 3rd. Recently I performed the Brahms Violin Concerto in the Symphony Centre downtown Chicago with Roosevelt ...

As a violinist, I specialize in teaching beginners and intermediate level students of all ages. I also offer Suzuki-style group classes for children under the age of twelve.

I have been exposed to a number of different pedagogic approaches to the violin including the Suzuki Method, the Orff Schulwerk, and other more traditional and contemporary methodologies. Because there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach to learning the violin, lessons are always tailored to meet the unique strengths and weaknesses of each and every individual student.

Please feel free to contact me to set up a trial lesson.

I am a New York State certified music teacher specializing in strings. I believe that all children and adults are musical and am committed to learning how to individualize lessons to create joyful musical experiences.

The violin is such a beautiful and fun instrument to play! I love teaching violin lessons and specialize in beginners. I can also teach intermediate lessons. I teach using the Suzuki method and have completed Violin Books 1-2 teacher training. I'm looking forward to sharing my love of the violin with you!
