Andrew's Violin Studio I am an experienced and caring teacher with a love of helping students of all levels learn the violin. Learning how to play the violin is an exhilarating and rewarding experience. It is a new journey every day, one which is difficult to undertake without the guidance of an experienced, knowledgeable teacher. Because of this, I offer my services as a teacher and mentor to new violinists of all ages.

I want to give each student a solid technical and musical background. It is also my goal to teach every student how to practice so they know what to do outside of lessons. I hope to see students develop a regimen of intelligent and consistent daily practice involving a good mixture of technical exercises and violin literature.

Report
Every student is an individual and every student deserves to be treated as such. Though I cover the same basic technical bases with all students in order to create a solid technical and musical background, I tailor lessons to the needs of each student. My main goal is to teach every student how to practice effectively and to take control of their time spent practicing at home. To a accomplish this, I help every student develop a regimen of intelligent and consistent daily practice involving a good mixture of technical exercises and literature.
