Violin lessons overview
I believe that making violin learning engaging and enjoyable is the key to success. My teaching style emphasizes expressive playing, pitch perfection, and classical foundation while focusing on bowing techniques. I specialize in teaching a variety of violin genres including classical, electric, and acoustic to a diverse audience of 50+ students, ranging from kids to adults at all skill levels. To enhance learning, I utilize a range of tech tools such as DAWs, ear training software, metronome apps, and virtual violin apps. I follow a tailored curriculum that aligns with various educational standards like A-Levels, AP Program, IB, and more. This structured approach ensures comprehensive skill development and progression. For recital preparation, I encourage students to choose music they love, which I then arrange in a fun style with backing tracks. This approach not only makes learning enjoyable but also helps students understand the practical application of their skills. By combining technical proficiency with musical enjoyment, students grasp the essence of violin learning as a fulfilling and exciting journey.

Violin concept taught by Ruslan
Ruslan Khokhlachev tutored Mia Occhino on a violin concerto, addressing bowing techniques, finger placement for gissandos and octaves, trill execution, and the identification of golden sequences. Mia worked on specific passages, receiving corrections and guidance on musicality and phrasing. No specific homework or follow-up was mentioned.

Ruslan assisted Lima in tuning her violin, focusing on peg adjustments and achieving perfect fifth intervals. They then worked on a musical piece, addressing intonation and finger placement, particularly within a diminished passage. Lima is to practice the piece, checking it against a piano, before their next lesson in three weeks.

During their online violin lesson, Ruslan coached Lima on improving her finger technique, including speed, pressure, and intonation. Ruslan advised Lima to seek assistance with tuning her violin, particularly the G string, and he will send her a tuning tutorial. They plan to meet again next week, schedule permitting.
