teaching philosophy
With commitment to practice and regular lessons we believe that anyone is capable of making music at a high level. We teach violin and viola lessons to students of any age, from preschool all the way to Adult students. In our lessons we place an emphasis on learning proper instrument technique. Proper instrument technique should be taught foremost, and will allow students to make a better tone, and learning new music easier. We believe that teaching and performing go hand and hand, and that they are both equally important. We encourage weekly lessons to get the best progress from our students. If weekly lessons are difficult financially, every other week can be arranged (as long as it is consistent). We expect students to practice their instruments everyday to get the best results. As violin and viola teachers, we place an emphasis on “how to practice.” We have access and knowledge to essential technique books and exercises for the violin and viola, such as: Suzuki, The Royal Conservatory of Canada and Essential Elements. We also use multiple methods of teaching and a wide variety of music depending on the student’s need.
