Teaching philosohpy:

I have a holistic approach to teaching the violin, which considers physical, mental, emotional, and psychological factors. My main goals are:

• To give the tools to the student to achieve their highest potential.
• To eventually achieve student independence from teacher.
• To encourage student into making their own artistic decisions while retaining technical precision and stylistic taste.
• Focusing on: posture, technique, musicality, performance, artistry, stage presence, stage fright, sytlistic decisions, mental focus, business and promotional aspects.

I help students with:

• Technique, études, studies and exercises
• Solo pieces
• Orchestral and school auditons
• Competitions
• Touring practice and performance management
• Recording techniques
• Improvisation
• How to chose the right instrument, bow, accessory
• Non-classical genres include: jazz, pop, rock, fiddle, gypsy, ethnic, folk

I coach:

• Piano/violin 
• Chamber ensembles with or without piano (duos, trios, quartets, quintes, sextets)
• String Orchestra
