Violin mastery through concept-focused & interactive teaching

As a violin tutor, I specialize in teaching school students in a creative and interactive manner. My teaching style is focused on demonstrating concepts in a detailed and informative way, using lectures to engage students. I believe in making learning fun and engaging, which helps students excel in music exams. I create personalized learning plans that combine theory and practice, and leverage digital music production software and interactive music theory apps to enhance the learning experience. With my methodology, students are able to grasp complex musical concepts and improve their skills effectively. My focus is always going to come back to scales and studies/etudes. These are the fundamentals needed to learn and refine different skills as a musician, and many well-known studies have been designed to focus on precise technique practice, such as Kreutzer and Sevcik studies. I also place a focus on proper piece practice, such as the correct way to drill passages. When looking at learning and performing pieces, it is important to understand the context of the work. What is the music theory telling you about how to play certain phrases/passages? When was this piece composed, and how does that inform how it is meant to be performed (bowing techniques, vibrato use, style of shifting, etc.)? Context is important, and I place a lot of value on imparting that knowledge.
