Class Experience

Intermediate - Advanced Level
This class is designed to help violin students grow their technique and musicality in a focused, supportive, and interactive environment. Each session targets a specific violin technique, giving students the opportunity to deepen their skills and develop a solid technical foundation.

🎻 What Will Be Taught?

Students will explore a wide range of essential violin techniques, including:

Bow techniques: détaché, staccato, spiccato, slurs.
Left-hand techniques: shifting, vibrato, and finger independence.
Sound production: control of bow speed, pressure, and contact point for optimal tone.
Musicality: phrasing, dynamics, and expressive playing.

🧠 Topics We Will Cover:

Understanding how each technique works.
When and where to apply techniques in musical contexts.
Listening and imitation exercises.
Strategies for practice and overcoming technical challenges.
Interpretation and expression in music.

📚 How Is the Class Structured?

Each class focuses on one main technique.

I begin by demonstrating the technique using my own instrument.
Then, students repeat the technique, and I provide individualized feedback.
Based on what I observe, I adapt my methods to help each student find the approach that works best for them.
We reinforce learning through repetition, targeted exercises, and musical examples.

🎥 How Will I Teach?

Through live demonstration.
Use of video examples and images to reinforce understanding.
Step-by-step explanations.
Repetition and guided practice.
I will also provide listening recommendations to help develop the student’s musical ear.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Music from Duquesne University
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from São Paulo State University
I hold a Master’s degree in Violin Performance and have had the privilege of playing with several orchestras, gaining extensive experience both as a soloist and ensemble musician. I was also accepted into a Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA) program, further affirming my commitment to excellence in my craft.

Throughout my academic and professional journey, I’ve developed a deep understanding of effective practice strategies and have built a strong, reliable violin technique. These skills not only shaped my own playing but also inform my teaching approach—emphasizing mindful, efficient practice and solid technical foundations.

In addition to my performance experience, I have worked with students of various ages and levels, helping them grow both musically and personally. My teaching focuses on creating a supportive and encouraging environment where students can explore their potential, build confidence, and enjoy making music. Whether guiding beginners through their first notes or helping more advanced students refine their technique, I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learned and making the violin accessible and rewarding for everyone.
