Wayne, PA Violin Lessons

All matters will be discussed prior to lesson/In lesson. Please message me about availability.

Typically, I use the Suzuki and Strictly Strings books for beginner students, and I will then advance to etude studies such as Wolfarht and Sevick in addition to the Suzuki sequels for my intermediate students. Lastly, I will add Introducing the Positions, Mazas, Josephine Trott Double Stops, and solo concertos to my advanced students.

Through the lessons I help students on understanding the fundamentals of music theory, creating an ideal sound, musical expression and coordination.
Every student is different. I work with students individually and use different approaches for each one of them. Such as methods, repertoire and lesson skills.
But most important of all, I always make sure that my student does not loose interest and have fun making music!

Violin is my primary instrument I can teach violin students from the very beginning to the college level. I will happily work on any style of violin music with you!

All of my students learn to love playing violin first before getting into the nitty-gritty, which we do! My lessons are student-led, meaning, which ever level you are at is where we start and it's up to US to get you to the next level. Each week you will learn scales, exercises and performance repertoire. I have taught violin for thirteen years and my students have excelled by moving up chairs in school, participating in honors orchestras and more!

Students can except immediate improvement within a matter of weeks, especially in the following areas: technique and posture, musicality, breadth of repertoire, confidence in performing, and general interest in your instrument. Many of my current and past students have acquired an insatiable urge to practice at every waking hour, and a mutual feeling of "I can't wait for our lesson!" quickly develops.

We've been teaching for 7 plus years and our students have gone on to attend conservatories and win competitions.

We specialize in classical, pop, and EDM, typically use Faber and Suzuki books, and play many music games with young students, to ensure everyone has fun learning.

We love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!

I am currently a student at Bryn Mawr College. I teach violin and viola lessons. I have played the violin and viola for 12 years and over the course of my 4 years of teaching, I have taught over 15 students on both violin and viola. 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 so the student gains confidence in preparing and performing "performance ready" pieces.
At college, I am principal viola of the Bryn Mawr-Haverford Orchestra and I also am part of a chamber music group. In high school, I was in the Maryland All-State Orchestra for four years and was in the Maryland Classic Youth Orchestra (MCYO), one of the most prestigious orchestras in Maryland, for four years. During my summers, I attended the Interlochen Center for the Arts high school music program. I have been taught by musicians from the National Symphony ...

Ms. Royce has played the violin since the age of seven, and aspired to become a music teacher upon joining her first orchestra in 2005. She holds a Bachelor of Music in Music Pedagogy for violin.

Gloria's mission is for her students to develop their musical gifts while enjoying their instrument and learning new skills.

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.
