Best Violin Lessons in Glen Oaks, NY

I currently teach students from beginner (pre-twinkle) to advanced levels!

All styles- all ages- learn what you want! emphasis on a good technique for a good tone, bow arm, and left hand playing in tune!

I teach violin at the New School for Leadership and the Arts, mostly to novice players, and I have experience teaching violin to children of all ages.

My primary instrument is guitar, which I've played for about 25 years in many different bands, styles, and genres. I studied music and classical guitar at University of Central Florida, and during that time I also helped teach violin to a class of third graders. I'm not a pro violinist, but I have plenty of experience working with novice players, helping them develop proper technique, sight reading, ear training, and other skills needed to advance to the next level.

Having spent the last 15 years playing and performing on violin, I can help you grow into the musician you'd like to be! Additionally, I was a NY State certified Music Teacher in the NYC Department of Education, educating students on music history, theory, and violin/viola performance

Lessons are always catered to the students' needs and expectations. Generally, my lessons will consist of stretching, warm-ups, sight reading, and any pieces that need to be prepared. Content is subject to lesson duration.

“Learning is becoming more aware." My favorite Dorothy Delay quote and one that I implement in my studio. By observing, hypothesizing, deducting, and problem-solving, my students will gain the skills needed not only to succeed in music, but also in every stage of life. I offer both lessons and coachings, in which we will cover violin technique (intonation, sound, phrasing, musicality, performance technique, audition preparation, etc.), and basic music theory (musical forms, rhythm, compositional techniques, etc.)
Lessons are tailored to the students individual levels and needs.

Looking forward to hearing from you!!

I am currently accepting students at my UWS studio, offering private lessons for all ages and abilities in viola and violin.

Hi! Welcome to my page! my name is Jen. I’m active freelance orchestral musician and violin & viola instructor in NYC and NJ area.
I welcome students of all ages, all levels of commitment and all ability levels. I have years of experience teaching with Suzuki books and other method training books. My lessons are always planned in a way that fits each students individually. I like to establish my lesson in a way where students learn correct techniques and explore their musical senses. I want my students to have fun learning music.
Most recently, I worked as graduate teaching assistant at University of Nevada Reno, where I taught undergraduate violin and viola students.
I received Bachelor of Music in violin performance at The Juilliard School. Later, I studied viola at Peabody Conservatory.

I love watching my students grow through performing songs and pieces they enjoy. I like to emphasize solid foundations such as posture and coordination through specific exercises, but I also like to assign pieces my students would enjoy playing and try to provide performing opportunities for them whenever possible, since I believe performing and sharing music is one of the most rewarding aspects of learning violin.

Soloist of the Jerusalem Symphony giving much more than violin lessons. In addition to teaching in the best European and Russian traditions, we will learn about classical music. Listening to pieces together and talking about the epic architecture that stands behind it. Leaving you with tools to make classical music a personal experience.
I’ve studied with some of the most acclaimed teachers of our time and I want to pass it on to you.
