What is discussed in violin lessons will vary greatly depending in the needs and goals of the student. For a beginning student, much of the lessons will be spent on developing a strong technical foundation. For intermediate and more advanced students, we will expand on existing technical foundation and also delve deeper into the nuances of sound production, listening critically to oneself, and developing one's musical identity. Students will learn repertoire appropriate for their level, and any popular songs that the students want to play, if they so desire. 
My expectations are tailored to the needs and goals of each individual student, but regardless of the student's age, playing level, or experience, I will push all of my students to be the best violinist they can be.
