Violin is one of my top subjects! Concert Master of three orchestras, leader of String Quartet, and ranked in the Top 10 of Onondaga County for performance.

I feel as if students of the violin should develop musically as well as skill wise. Not only should you improve in your technical skills, but also your ability to interpret music on multiple levels. Also, I believe very strongly that not one student learns the same way, therefore, I will observe and analyze their responses to certain lessons and create a way of learning special to each and every student.
I have been performing for eight years on the violin. My education includes music instruction since third grade, private instruction for over three years, and an advanced education in music theory. I have performed in multiple ensembles, including: Syracuse Youth Symphony, a multitude of Advanced Orchestras, CNS String Quartet, Crane Youth Symphony, and other miscellaneous groups. I have been teaching privately since September of 2012. Previously to this I have been a sectional lea ... read more

I have always wanted students to really know the material being covered. This has meant keeping their interest through jovial yet concentrated lesson planning. I have always strived to make my students feel comfortable and to take on the responsibility for their own learning. Much too often Educators show students how to answer questions rather than helping the student learn how to handle new scenarios. This is the essence of my teaching: helping students see the big picture so that they can handle any new scenario. My classroom always has many things going on at once, which is a direct result of the student driven learning and presenting.

More About This Tutor...

I love teaching and helping children to succeed. I believe that it is important for children to develop a life long love of learning. This should be accomplished through a safe and supportive environment and facilitated by a child-centered curriculum. I also believe students learn best when they can relate to what they are learning, as well as being immersed in it. This is best accomplished through integrated learning. I believe that a teacher is both a facilitator of learning as well as a positive role model. All children need the opportunity to explore themselves and figure out what they are good at and what they like, and I will be there to guide the children.
I have extensive experience working with children grades prekindergarten to eleven. I taught universal prekindergarten, kindergarten and fifth grade, as well as teaching a social action course to students in grades ... read more
