Best Violin Lessons in Casanova, VA

I've been teaching violin for 14 years and my students have gone on to win top prizes at the Solo & Ensemble Festival, featured soloists, and become music majors! Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to play a few songs and read music, and as time goes on you'll be able to develop a beautiful tone! I typically use the Suzuki books, and have the following tools available for your lessons: audio recordings, and an extensive music library. I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!

I have been a principal violinist with the Memphis Symphony for the past 8 years. I have been teaching private violin lessons for 20 years. Teaching and performing are both my passion. My students have done very well and many have gone on to major in music in college.

I am a professional violinist in manhattan. I enjoy catering my lessons to what the student wants to get out of the lesson. I like to prioritize technical proficiency so that students can feel confident tackling new pieces on their own. I received my B.M. in Violin Performance from UC Santa Barbara, and my M.M. in Violin Performance from NYU where I was awarded "Excellence and Outstanding Achievement in the Graduate String Studies Program." I previously served as adjunct violin faculty at NYU and have taught student of all ages and abilities.

Lessons will involve building technique (scales, arpeggios, intonation exercise, bow exercises), sight reading, performance practice, and building repertoire. Can incorporate Suzuki method if that is your preference

I was raised in the Suzuki method, trained in it, and I believe in it. It is the most effective school of education for new musicians who want to learn reliably. I've been teaching it 9 years.

I can talk to you for days about the method, but I will sum it up as quickly as i can.

1: Immersion
2: Daily Practice
3: Listening
4: Strong relationship between student, teacher and parent.

If the student listens everyday, practices everyday, practices what i tell them, and is made to love the music, you will learn. I've taught hundreds of students this way and when all the conditions are met, all my students have had success.

20+ years as a touring concerto soloist with most major orchestras globally.

Many years' experience working with major music agencies and record labels. Look forward to collaborating.
