About Rachel M.
Close
I have been teaching violin for over 15 years and like to incorporate a mixture of traditional, Suzuki, and contemporary pieces in my lessons. Students will learn to read music as well as play by ear and we'll play a mixture of etudes, solo pieces, duets, and special requests (to shame in admitting you want to learn to play a song from Frozen on the violin!)
About Rachel
Currently, Rachel performs with the Prometheus Chamber Orchestra, a self-conducted ensemble based in Philadelphia
*** Lesson Details ***
I like to teach students using a combination of Traditional method books as well as Suzuki. I believe that it's equally important for students to be able to play music by ear as it is to be able to sight-read off of a score. In a typical lesson, we will cover scales, exercises in technique, etudes, and a movement of a classical piece. I also like to play duets with students as I believe it helps improve the ear and acclimate a student for playing in group or orchestral settings.
I encourage all students to bring a notebook with them to every lesson and will write down what is being worked on and the areas of improvement. I've found that it's vastly helpful to be able to go back and look at what was covered in a lesson when you're at home practicing!
*** Studio Equipment ***
Studio is in a private room, neat, organized, with plenty of instruments. She has a music stand, extra equipment, instruments, and seating for parents.
*** Travel Equipment ***
If a student lives in a reasonably subway/bus accessible area then I have no problem traveling to them for lessons.
*** Specialties ***
Classical, Fiddle, Violin, Viola

Rachel is a warm and inviting person, and she made me feel very welcome on my first visit. She definitley does get right down to business in lessons. I am an older student and have never played violin before, so I thought I might struggle to learn. The opposite seems true. Rachel spent the first couple of sessions perfecting my posture and bow holds. We moved on to playing rhythms and reading sheet music, shortly after. I've only been practicing once a week for 2 months, and I can already play simple sheet music! That's huge for me! Rachel's instruction is clear and patient, and she's very easy-going. She also has a good sense of humor and a great way of phrasing things so that it's simple to understand her.
The only thing that can be difficult sometimes is getting a hold of her by phone or email. Sometimes she takes a bit to respond, she always does eventually catch up with me, though. Overall, I'm pleased with my lessons.

Rachel is a very nice and patient teacher. My sons have been taking lessons with her for a few months and I have noticed big improvements.

Rachel was very helpful in keeping my violin skills good over my college winter break. I'll definitely come back to her next summer. I've noticed improvements in my ability to play and it was a pleasure.

About Amanda B.

Violin is so much fun to play and teach! Technique, rhythm and confidence building are my main focuses for violin students. In addition to performance skills, I aim to give all my students musical knowledge about theory, music history and musical terminology.
About Amanda
I work to help students create and achieve their musical goals. I pride myself on clearly communicating lesson topics and assignments so every student knows exactly what must be practiced for the upcoming lessons. Teacher clarity helps students practice in a more focused fashion so they can improve as steadily and quickly as possible. I ensure my student
Hard-working students will prepare for auditions with local youth orchestras.
I offer multiple performance opportunities each year. In the past I organized formal spring recitals where all my students gained the experience of playing with an accompanist in a recital hall. Special opportunities include honors recitals and Duet Day performances. Of course, these opportunities change from year to year, but the emphasis is always on giving a performance to be proud of!

Highly insightful, kind, and flexible, Jenny aims to incorporate a multidisciplinary approach into her teaching and hopes to make music lessons as affordable as possible to all students.
About Jenny
She has over 16 years of experience in playing the violin and has won multiple competitions and awards over the years. Jenny completed her undergraduate work at Duke University in May 2016, earning degrees in global health, sociology, and ethics. Although she did not major in music at Duke, Jenny was fortunate to have been quite involved in the music department. She studied violin with Professor Eric Pritchard of the Ciompi Quartet for four years, and she was a two-time winner of the Duke Symphony concerto competition. She also served as concertmaster and president of the Duke Symphony Orchestra, directed by Professor Harr
Continuing her music studies in the past two years, Jenny has participated in several highly selective music festivals and workshops, including the Luby Violin Symposium, the National Orchestral Institute, and the Emerging Artist Fellowship Program at Garth Newel. Most recently, Jenny has performed in the first violin section with the Temple University Symphony Orchestra, the Central Pennsylvania Symphony, and the Hershey Symphony. In addition, she studied with Dr. Eduard Schmieder, the distinguished Laura H. Carnell Professor of Violin at Temple University's Boyer College of Music.
In 2017 and 2018, Jenny performed for several invitation-only corporate events, including the Pennsylvania Bar Association's annual dinner, a private concert for Keith Wargo (managing director of Mizuho Americas), a Tesla Drive event hosted by Offit Kurman, the Arts Against Bullying Gala hosted by FSP Against Bullying, an Awards Banquet hosted by the Dauphin County Democratic Committee (featuring keynote speaker Julian Castro, the Housing & Urban Development Secretary under President Obama), as well as the National Healthcare Symposium hosted by Geisinger Health. The Geisinger symposium was attended by distinguished guests such as Hillary Clinton, Dean Ornish, Gail Wilensky, Judy Faulkner, Thomas Lee, Howard Dean, Governor Wolfe, and Ezekiel Emanuel.
Outside of music, Jenny continues to explore her diverse interests in clinical research, global health, social justice, filmmaking, writing, and education. Jenny has designed and taught an official Duke course on HIV/AIDS for several semesters, as well as having served as a writing tutor and teaching assistant for several courses at Duke.

About Jocelyn D.
Close
I usually work with children or teenagers and I can teach someone who has never played an instrument before as well as intermediate players. I use a variety of books that teach theory, rhythm and playing songs such as the Suzuki method, I Can Read Music, the String Builder series and Winning Rhythms by Edward Ayola. For the pieces I focus on a routine to prepare and perform "performance ready" pieces so students gain confidence in their playing and know the level of expectation for what a professional polished piece sounds like.
For complete beginners I focus a lot on the correct positioning because that is the base for playing and it is very hard further down the line to change a bad habit related to positioning.
For more advanced players I focus on the core skills such as intonation and the ability to read notes and rhythms but I also incorporate how to add musicality and flare to a piece so that it is emotional and interesting to listen to.

My students improve significantly since when I first meet them. One of my first students whom I now give Skype lessons to successfully got into one of the best orchestras in the DC area and is now principal (1st chair) of
