Music Theory with Lore S.

Lore has taught throughout their musical career and loves nothing better than to introduce students of all ages to the magic of creating their own music! As a teacher, they focus on balancing inspiration and explanation. Inspiration: because if you don’t love your music, what’s the point? And technique: because if it’s easy to play and sounds good, you’ll keep coming back for more! Lore has a BA in Violin Performance and a minor in American Roots Music from Berklee School of Music, has taught privately for over ten years, and has played in nationally touring bands. Lore's fiddle contest wins include California and Nevada Oldtime Fiddle State Championships, Western Open Championships and top 5 in the National Oldtime Fiddle Championships. *** Online Supplies*** I keep downloadable pdfs and links on my personal website so they're handy whenever you need them. I also provide audio files for most fiddle assignments. *** Specialties *** I love teaching oldtime, bluegrass, country and celtic fiddle - most of what I do as a performer fits in along those lines. I teach Suzuki method violin as well. My Suzuki teacher learned directly from Shinichi Suzuki! I encourage all my students to improvise, to try different musical styles, and to experiment with composition. My goals are to share my own love for music, and enable students to discover their unique musical voice.
