Violin with Chris S.

I've played the violin since I was four, have a Bachelor's Degree in Violin Performance from Indiana University - Bloomington, a well-known music school, and have extensive experience teaching and playing all styles from Baroque, Classical, Romantic periods as well as folk, country, rock and blues genres. *** Lesson Details *** I'm friendly, patient, enthusiastic, positive and get along with almost any kind of student. My goal is to give my students songs of just the right difficulty so that they have a little challenge for that week, but don't get frustrated or discouraged. Of course I also teach note-reading, music terminology and all things music and violin-related. I like to start slow, but after 3-6 months you will be paying songs that you know and be able to read music for yourself. *** Travel Equipment *** Music stand, metronome, shoulder rest, notebook, rosin. *** Specialties *** I use these books: I Can Read Music Songs For Little Players (and next two books in series) Suzuki Violin Various duets and self-arranged pieces, including country / folk / traditional styles.
