Class Experience

This class is designed for students who have already completed Intro to Violin and Novice Violin - Level A.

Level B will cover new technique, songs on all 4 strings, memorizing music, and playing more expressively.  Some of the songs we will learn are -  Perpetual Motion, Allegretto, Andantino and Etude.  Students will begin exploring the use of 4th finger, playing on the lower strings, and low 2nd finger. We will also learn to identify some notes on the violin and some ear training...

I have been teaching violin for 25 years and performing on stage since I was 3 years old.  Everything I teach is out of experience and are the building blocks for my own technique as a concert violinist.  I am patient and have experience with students with special needs.

Pdfs of the music and online practice videos for support will be provided.  

REQUIRED
An instrument is needed.  Please feel free to ask for assistance.
A shoulder rest is highly recommended as it encourages practice and diminishes long term body paid from RMI (Repetitive Motion Injuries)

OPTIONAL
If you wish to have your own music book to accompany this class I will be using material from Suzuki Violin School, Volume 1 (available on Amazon at sharmusic.com)

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

45 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 2 - 4 hours per week outside of class.

Age appropriate.  However do to the fast pace of the class, parents are welcome to listen in and assist where necessary.  Parents do not need to have any prior knowledge of music to assist.
