Jackson Heights, NY Violin Lessons

Whether your interest is classical music, fiddle or contemporary, you can be sure you will start your journey off right. First you will learn the basics, which apply to all types of violin playing, and then you can specialize in any genre you wish after that.

You will gradiently learn everything you need to know, becoming skilled at each new task, and never being overwhelmed by an avalanche of unimportant information. My goals for you are based upon three things:

1. Working towards your goals
2. Increasing your strengths
3. Strengthening your weaknesses.

Everybody has weaknesses and I work to improve yours with both education and practice (You can only learn how to practice something correctly if you know how to do it correctly, or fix what is wrong with it.)

Expect to play the violin on your first day, play a song within the first few weeks, and get to an intermediate level in about one year - of course, depending on how much you practice.

For my beginning violin students, I have found the Essential Elements Series to be highly effective, as well as the Suzuki methodology. All lessons will typically start with scales/arpeggios and be followed with the selected piece(s) we have chosen together. All of my students will attest that I set clear and high expectations for every lesson, yet am very understanding, friendly and approachable right from the start. My goal is to provide every individual with the tools necessary for becoming a well-rounded musician, so that they too can share their love for music with others.

This is my profession.

Playing the violin is easy, once you realize that it is a kind of singing! Although it has perhaps the most complicated technique of any instrument, it is simple once you understand the focus of the technique.

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.

I am currently studying to be an orchestra teacher and I have many years of experience teaching privately. Violin isn't my main instrument, however I've been playing for many years. Students will learn proper technique, music reading, music theory, and classical repertoire, as well as help with school orchestra music, if needed.

18 years violin experiences! I play violin in multi-genres such as jazz, latin, and classical of course :)
I had a classical-trained background with a violin performance Bachelor degree from Nation Taipei University of Education in Taiwan. And I was also violin player in gypsy jazz band in Taiwan. I went to Berklee College of Music in 2011 and start focus on jazz violin and music production,graduated in 2014. I had experiences work with musicians from many different genre such as classical, jazz, Latin, fusion, pop...etc.
while I teach violin, I always pay a lot of attention on students postures because it's very important to have a comfortable position when we play the violin. And also I will teach some basic music theory to help students understand the music better!

I'm a dedicated teacher and spend extra time outside of lessons thinking about how to best approach the following lesson. I find the style of teaching that works best for the student. I write plans after lessons and email or give them in person summarizing the lesson's key points to help make practicing at home easier and more organized in order to make lesson time as effective overall as possible.

My violin and viola students study classical Russian technique--used by the best players in history. It involves efficient use of the body, both to avoid injury when playing and also to get the best possible sound from the instrument. Students progress in technique, musicality, and music theory.
