Best Violin Lessons in Ridgewood, NY

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.

As a teacher with more than 10 years of teaching experience, I have specialized in teaching young children ages 3 - 12. I have taught all levels and all ages but I found that teaching young children is where I feel most fulfilled and connected! Although I am a certified in the Suzuki Pedagogy Method, I cater my lessons to fit the needs of each individual student and will find teaching methods that will be most beneficial to the individual student.

I am a graduate student at the Juilliard School and I'm very experienced with violin teaching, both working with children and adults. I use Suzuki Method for violin.

I've taught people who were just beginning violin (both children and adults) to students who were working on major concertos. What is most important to me as a teacher is that the student connect with the music and their instrument by being creative and personalizing my approach for the student. I also strongly strive to make performers out of violinists and to help them engage both audiences and themselves.

I've been teaching privately since 2013.

My teaching goals vary depend a great deal on the level of the student, but also what the student wants to get out of violin/music as well!

My style of teaching is pretty relaxed. As interested as I am in the technical matters of playing the violin, I believe the music itself matters the most and strive to always put the music above all. Technique is just vehicle we use to make the music possible.

I am a member of Certificate of Merit so students can take cm on their choice, am also doing symf during summer. I usually held recital minimum 1-2 a year so students will get a chance to perform.
I use suzuki method for most students but also open to teach whatever students interested in.
My students are from 5 years old to an adult. I have also taught at a elementary and highschool before.
