I do a variety of styles in music for the violin. I use whatever method (book or teaching style) is needed to teach what the student needs to learn. I have been teaching violin for 27 years. Depending on age, we will start in either Essential Elements or Suzuki. All beginners will start the bow after they can read the first 8 notes. All intermediates will be able to play 2 octave scales from 3 sharps to 3 flats. They will also be able to shift into third position cleanly and will be starting on vibrato. For all advanced students will learn three octaves scale starting with books or sheet music. IF they wish other styles, we will have started that in intermediate. All students will have an opportunity to go through the Music Development Program.
