Do you want to motivate your children to practice? Do you want them to connect with others learners who love music just like them, and be inspired to achieve their highest potential? It is my goal that this violin community will do just that for all of its members. 
      As an orchestra teacher, I have seen students make the most progress when learning from their peers and working together with the same goal in mind: to grow musically. In this community, students will connect with peers from all over the globe to improve their violin skills in an enjoyable and engaging way. Learning is fun, and learning the violin should be no different. To me, there is nothing more exhilarating than making music. 
      Students of all levels are welcome to join this community, as a variety of playing levels is what is needed for motivation to grow. Students will interact with one another through the posts and projects I will be sharing every week. I will be available to answer questions and provide feedback every day, except in the weekends. below you will see a detailed description of my posting schedule and topics.

        Mondays "Show and Tell":
Every Monday, I will share with students a post asking them to share something about their musical journey. Examples: favorite song, artist, musical genre, current song they are learning, etc. This will be an opportunity to get to know one another and connect on a deeper human level.

    Wednesday Pro Tips Videos:
Every Wednesday,  I will post a video providing tips for warm-ups, practice habits, specific techniques, or songs. The videos will include detailed explanations to improve students' skills in vibrato, shifting, scales, bow strokes, etudes, injury prevention, and more. 

   Feedback Fridays:
On Fridays, students are encouraged to send me videos of them practicing what they learned on Wednesday, or questions related to the songs they are currently learning. Although I will be available for questions on weekdays, Fridays are the days when students and parents can ask me anything about the violin or music in general. 

    I would like to remind parents that this is a virtual community and there will be NO live meetings for this class. However, the experience of belonging to a place where everybody knows your name will boost students' self-esteem and love for music.

    I look forward to meeting you soon,
