I provide the highest quality private violin and viola lessons for students of all ages and abilities, conveniently located at Southern and Rural in Tempe, AZ.
I use a traditional teaching style, adapted to meet the individual needs of each student. I have been most strongly influenced by both the Suzuki and Rolland methods of string instruction for beginners, and the Dounis and Tuttle methods for advanced players. I use aspects of each method in my teaching. Beginners and intermediate students are instructed as to proper posture, note reading, rhythm, basic bow strokes, beginning shifting, and vibrato. I use the Suzuki method books through Book 4. Advanced students build on their previous knowledge to refine technique, learn three-octave scales, and learn more complex repertoire. Advanced students also prepare for youth orchestra auditions, ASTACAP exams, and high school Regional and All State auditions. All students participate in studio recitals twice a year.
