Violin with Miriam-Rose L.

Hello! My name is Miriam-Rose, and I have been teaching violin/fiddle to students of all levels and ages for over ten years. I was trained classically in the Suzuki method from a very young age, and also have a significant background in traditional music, specifically Scottish fiddle. During my time at Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music, I created my own degree with a focus on Scottish music, and also became the third place winner of the 2012 National Scottish Fiddle Championship. Additionally, I have been on faculty at the Joffrey Academy of Dance since 2015, and have over 10 years of experience teaching ballet to students of all ages. I currently dance with Chicago Repertory Ballet. More on my teaching philosophy: As a teacher, my aim is not only to train my students to be the very best dancers or musicians they can be, but also to equip them with the skills and values necessary to become the best possible versions of themselves. I love the arts of both ballet and violin for many reasons; one of which is that in order to do them well, one must develop perseverance, discipline, passion, humility, creativity, and patience, among other qualities. These qualities are valuable not only in the arts, but in any person’s life, and I aspire to enhance and shape the lives of my students. Thanks, and I look forward to working with you!
