Your child will learn to play a strings instrument of their choice and I will meet them at the level they need. I also found in my years of teaching individual lessons that students need help with difficult school Orchestra Music.

Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
Beginner - Advanced Level
I will teach children how to play the following Stringed instruments.  
Cello-beginning to advanced levels
Violin-beginning to intermediate levels
Viola- beginning level
Orchestra tutoring-help with any fingerings, bowings, rythms, etc that you find difficult in orchestra class or help preparing excerpts for a higher level orchestra auditions. No ongoing lessons are required.  
Competition goals-you may need extra help preparing for competition's such as the Solo & Ensemble Festival.  No ongoing lessons are required.

Learning Goals

Beginning students will work in a method book and achieve proficiency on their instrument of choice.  They will develop good habits right from the start.  They will understand how to practice effectively.  They will understand the fundamentals of playing.
Beginning and intermediate students will learn how to hold their instrument, hold their bow, left hand technique, note reading, and music theory.  We will work together to create individual goals on their instrument of choice.

Other Details

Pre-Requisites
The only requirements for this class are an instrument. If you have trouble locating a reputable store where to rent or buy an instrument I can help. I will also tell you what music book to purchase based on your level.
Supply List
Children will need an instrument sized to them at a reputable music store.  I will recommend music books to purchase based on the level of playing.
