Music Lessons in Cartersville, VA. It's your time.

I've been teaching Clarinet for 15 years and my students have gone on to College, and other performing goals.I use a variety of books from the typical book you would use as a student in a band program to a more advanced method for other players. Each student is different so I try to evolve to meet their specific needs and learning styles. I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you! I plan and offer yearly student performances to give students a practical application to their instruction.

I offer individual lessons for regional Greek violin technique. The lessons are geared for intermediate to advanced violin students, but experience with Greek music is not required.

Violin is the primary melodic instrument of Greek music, so there are many different regional styles and techniques. The objective of these lessons is to learn basic violin techniques from distinct regions across Greece. The lessons focus on rhythm/bowing and ornamentation, which are taught through traditional tunes, and include a basic introduction to maqam and moria.

Music theory is the foundation of music. It includes music notations, chord progressions, song form, melodic patterns, key signatures, transposition, recognizing intervals, scale formulas.

Public performance of a musical instrument requires special attention and training in your pursuit of mastering your instrument. I will coach you in confidence-building, in overcoming performance anxiety and in developing technical skills which will allow you to perform for recitals or for auditions flawlessly.

I believe that every person is able to play the violin at some level. My goal as the teacher is to communicate knowledge in such a way that the student becomes more self-aware. Awareness is the key to advancement and overall success on the instrument. I look forward to sharing my knowledge with you.
