Beginner, Intermediate, AdvancedAbout Alyssa M.
Hello! My name is Alyssa. I can't wait to meet you!
Experience: I've been teaching stringed instruments for over 9 years to many ages. I focus on the Suzuki method with the young children and I believe in strong fundamentals. Ear training is a wonderful gift that comes with the discipline of violin study. As the student's ear gets stronger, improvisational techniques can be taught. This allows for broader musicianship and enjoyment in learning. I also encourage my students to memorize each piece of music. For the grade-school students, this can help them build the tools and confidence necessary to succeed in the classroom outside of music. Music education can be useful in all areas of one's life.
Performance: I've been performing with the violin for nearly 20 years. I've played with the Hershey Symphony, Penn State's Philharmonic Orchestra, various chamber groups, and many types of bands across a large variety of genres. I've fallen in love with performing in NYC rock bands as well as writing music for R&B artists.
Education: Penn State University - Bachelor's of Music
Interests: I've studied adolescent development, child psychology and music education during my time at Penn State University.

Alyssa is a pleasure to work with! I'm looking forward to more lessons with her.

Amazing instructor, always provides detailed notes on what we should practice for the week. Fun charts and stickers to track practice and highlight progress for my 6 year old. Works so well with children and really knows how to listen to them. Highly recommend.

I've had a great experience with Alyssa.
Her lessons are clear and well paced to accommodate your learning style and goals. Her enthusiasm makes class very enjoyable.
I would recommend Alyssa as your instructor.

Alyssa is very patient. She's great to work with!
