My comments on tutoring Violin : I played violin for seven years in school and private lessons.

I try to use various activities and techniques when teaching to keep students interested. This also helps them (and me) to determine the way(s) that they learn best. I also like to ask the students first what they think the answer is or how a problem should be approached before feeding them a solution. I encourage questioning and discussions at every turn. Overall, I want to create a friendly yet effective environment for optimal teaching and learning.
I am a second year student at the Universtiy of Georgia. I taught private violin lessons to middle schoolers from the fall of 2010 through the summer of 2011, and I myself have received seven years of private instruction. I have experienced numerous auditions, concerts, and other performances, as well as traveled with my high school chamber orchestra to Washington, D.C. and Savannah, Georgia. During the summer of 2012, I tutored Kore ... read more

Violin is one of my top subjects! I played the violin throughout my youth from the age of 8 until I was 20. I recently picked it back up seriously again, and currently am playing with the Athens Symphony. I studied with master teachers in my youth and have played with many ensembles and symphonies as well been a featured soloeist in my younger performing days.

Suzuki and beyond
12 years serious playing and 12 years casual playing. Although I took quite a long break from playing seriously I continued to pick up the instrument and practice on my own for pleasure. Recently, I decided to pick it up more seriously and auditioned to play with the Athens Symphony. I currently sit in the 1st violin section.

Violin is one of my top subjects!

I am proficient as a teacher and performer on the violin, viola, and cello. I was placed first stand in the Kendall Youth Symphony Orchestra, the Gwinnett County Youth Symphony Orchestra, and in the Emory Youth Symphony Orchestra. I also played viola in the 2009 and 2010 All-State Orchestras. Currently I play violin in the Georgia State University Orchestra, I perform composer's new works in the Atlanta area, and I also enjoy playing in contemporary worship bands. I am a sectional coach for Couch Middle School and I have been teaching privately for over five years now. I am completing my Bachelors degree in Music Education at Georgia State University and I hope to soon teach orchestra in the public school system.
I use the Russian Method to instill my students with good technique and tone, I use certain pieces for my students that encourage their artistic expression, and I get to k ... read more
