About this user

Hi, I'm a teacher of violin and viola in the Washington, DC area. This channel is designed to help students with some of the most commonly studied repertoire. Most of the selections are taken from the Suzuki method books. Please keep in mind that this channel is only a resource. My videos are intended to show students and parents what a polished performance might sound like in a setting similar to one in which most students practice on a daily basis (in a small room and without accompaniment). My videos are not meant to take the place of individual lessons offered by a competent instructor. For best results, individual (private) lessons should be taken on a weekly basis. Individual practice should be accomplished daily. My videos are also not meant to be a substitute for listening to the Suzuki CDs daily. Students should be listening to the appropriate level CD at least once per day - the entire CD. This listening can be done as background listening - while doing homework, on the way to school or work, while having a meal etc. It is only through repeated listening that the student will have a clear aural image of what the pieces are supposed to sound like. A student should not begin practicing a piece on the instrument until they already know how the piece goes. Before any instrumental practice begins, the piece should be as familiar to the student as "Happy Birthday". Solving technical challenges is difficult enough even if the piece is familiar. Attempting new technical challenges in a piece that is unknown to the student is extremely frustrating for the student, teacher and parent. Repeated listening to the Suzuki CDs is the number one way to get the most out of lessons and practice and it doesn't take any extra time!
