My teaching approach is focused on providing personalized and progressive violin lessons that are both engaging and effective. I believe in a student-centered methodology that incorporates empathy, creative exploration, and the integration of music theory to enhance learning. Whether it's Jazz Violin, Acoustic Violin, Baroque Violin, or Student Violin, I tailor the lessons to the student's interests and skill level. I leverage a variety of tech tools such as DAWs, Ear Training Software, and Virtual Violin Apps to create interactive and dynamic online learning experiences. These tools help in sight-reading practice, music composition, and overall skill development. Additionally, I utilize resources like PDF Sheet Music Libraries and Orchestral Accompaniments to enrich the curriculum. Following globally recognized curricula like A-Levels, AP Program, or IB, I ensure alignment with educational standards while adapting the lessons to suit individual student needs. With experience teaching over 100 school-level students, I excel in providing a supportive environment where students can thrive and develop their violin skills with confidence.
