In addition to my performance credentials, I have organized and performed in numerous benefit concerts, supporting causes such as breast cancer awareness and Ukrainian relief efforts.

6 Helpful Strategies Every Violin Teacher in Canada Should Use

Here are six practical and proven methods every violin teacher in Canada should consider using to help students stay motivated, engaged, and on track.

1. Choose the Right Method Books for Their Stage

A well-chosen method book can give students a clear structure and sense of progress.

Popular options used across Canada include:

  • Suzuki Violin Method – Widely used in beginner programs nationwide
  • Essential Elements for Strings – Often used in public school string programs
  • RCM Violin Series – Standard for students preparing for Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) exams
  • All for Strings – Good for group teaching in school or community programs

If students are working toward RCM exams or school orchestra placements, selecting books that align with those goals is key.

2. Use Digital Tools for Practice Support

Students in busy cities like Ottawa or Edmonton often need structured tools to support practice at home.

Helpful resources include:

  • Tuner and metronome apps – Apps like TonalEnergy or Soundcorset help with pitch and rhythm
  • SmartMusic – Used in some Canadian schools for sight-reading and play-along practice
  • Practice journals or digital planners – Help students stay consistent and track what they’ve improved

These tools help students stay organized and build strong habits outside of lessons.

3. Provide Access to Quality Sheet Music

Expanding repertoire keeps students motivated and improves sight-reading.

Top sources for violin music in Canada:

  • Long & McQuade – Canada's largest music retailer, with locations in every province
  • The Royal Conservatory’s Online Store – Offers graded RCM repertoire and studies
  • IMSLP (Petrucci Music Library) – Great for classical works in the public domain
  • Musicroom.ca – A go-to for modern and crossover pieces

Including Canadian composers like André Gagnon or Marjan Mozetich can also create a deeper cultural connection.

4. Encourage Regular Recording and Reflection

Listening to themselves helps students identify strengths and areas for improvement.

Try:

  • Voice memos or video recordings from their phone
  • Practice journals to reflect on each week’s progress
  • Monthly "check-in" recordings to track growth

Over time, students build confidence and awareness that leads to better performances.

5. Introduce Creative and Collaborative Tools

Creativity builds connection to the instrument. Try activities like:

  • Improvisation games or call-and-response exercises
  • Backing tracks or jam tracks for pop and folk styles
  • Duets with teacher or peers to develop listening and timing
  • Simple composition using apps like Noteflight or Flat.io

In cities like Montreal and Toronto, where musical diversity is celebrated, introducing global genres like Celtic, Métis fiddle, or Bollywood-inspired violin can also spark interest.

6. Offer Local Performance Opportunities

Performing boosts motivation and builds real-world confidence. Across Canada, there are many local and national opportunities.

Consider:

  • School recitals and community concerts
  • Festivals like the Kiwanis Music Festival or Toronto Music Festival
  • Youth orchestras and ensembles in cities like Calgary, Halifax, or Regina
  • Playing at local events, including Canada Day celebrations or multicultural festivals

Even informal performances at home or in community centers can be meaningful milestones for students.

Bringing It All Together

Helping violin students grow takes more than just teaching technique. It’s about giving them the tools, the confidence, and the experiences that help them connect with music on a personal level. With the right guidance and encouragement, students across Canada can discover not just how to play the violin but how to truly enjoy making music.
