Best Violin Lessons in Jackson Heights, NY

Beginners typically take 60 minute classes once per week at a recurring time. Young children typically take half hour classes and older children, adult musicians and those on a budget typically take 45 minute classes. The most common lesson length to start with is 60 minutes, as the teacher will need to tune your instrument and help you get set up. Some students choose to take lessons twice per week when a concert is coming up, to catch up from a vacation or if they just want to make faster progress.

In class, you will learn new techniques, receive guidance on how to achieve the best sound possible and learn songs that you like and that interest you. You are expected to take this guidance and practice it thoroughly at home until you feel comfortable with it, so that when you are in class next, the teacher can move on to a new concept or skill which builds upon the skill practiced at home. They will only move you forward once you can do the more basic technique.

My main goal as a teacher is to help my student realize their full potential and talent as a musician. I firmly believe that every single child has the ability to succeed at learning a musical instrument. With patience, open-mindedness, humor and love, a good teacher can help his/her students tap into their musical voices. With practice and patience, we can develop a solid foundation and work towards learning music.

I believe strongly in teaching what the student loves, so I am more than happy to work with my students on many styles of music, ranging from classical to musical theater to pop songs to bluegrass tunes. Positivity and kindness are second nature to me, and I strive to always create a fun and creative learning environment. I look forward to embarking on a musical journey with you or your child!

I teach beginner and intermediate violin students helping them develop their bow technique and intonation.

I possess more than 10 years of progressive experience in music education. My professional history includes positions such as president/instructor at Rockville Centre Music as well as classical guitar instructor at Long Island Conservatory.
Most recently, my responsibilities as owner at Rockville Centre Music match the qualifications you are seeking. As the Owner, my responsibilities included preparing schedules, creating lesson plans, and working with special needs children.

We can start with the basics and continue onto some intermedeiate repertoire. Violin is a great instrument to learn and being able to play in an orchestra is pretty cool!

I've been teaching violin privately and in groups for 7 years. My most recent teaching experience was volunteering in Haiti last summer, where I taught at three different summer camps. Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to hold the instrument and as time goes on you'll be able to play simple to more advanced melodies. I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!

I've been playing violin for 20 years now, & I've been teaching music to children & adults at schools & privately for 5 years. Everyone has a different learning style, & I pride myself on being able to teach many different personalities & students. More than anything, I believe learning should be fun & bring you joy! So to that end, I work to make sure my students have a great time learning, & walk away with new information & skills every lesson. I'd be happy to help you on your musical journey!

I completed my studies at the Royal Academy of Music, London, where I completed BMus, MMus and PhD degrees in Violin Performance. I am an active performer as well as a committed teacher, with over ten years' experience in teaching the violin and music theory. I offer a student-centered approach, taking each student as an individual with unique strengths and weaknesses. I work together with my students not only to make them into better violinists, but confident and well-rounded musicians as well.

As a teacher, I focus on developing solid musicianship and technical foundations while tailoring my approach to the needs, goals, and learning styles of each individual student. For students with professional aspirations, I strive to instill a thorough understanding of taste and style as well as high standards of technical execution. However, I am equally committed to teaching amateurs, and hope that students whose careers lie in other fields of endeavor will derive lessons of historical context and problem solving from their violin studies. Most importantly, I encourage all of my students to develop confidence in their personal voice, with the objective of helping them to become both convincing performers and authentic, self-reliant human beings.
