About Paul

I am a conservatory trained violinist and very experienced (30 years) teaching students of various age groups and backgrounds. I pride myself on clear, constructive guidance. My (younger) students consistently place top honors in Solo and Ensemble, All State Orchestra, ILMEA.

Helping people discover the joy of having music in their lives. Learning the craft of violin and viola playing. Hope to soon offer instruction for student ensembles both youth (string quartet) as well as coaching for adult age ensembles.

At first I was usually asked to give lessons based on my performance background, later as my interest grew I sought out different approaches and styles of music to teach. I have also worked with several teaching platforms including recording video lessons and instruction on Skype.



Bachelor degree in performance, education background covering 25 years. References can be supplied upon request.

About the lesson

  • All Levels
  • English

All languages in which the lesson is available :

English

For beginners regardless of age, exercises, an understanding of  certain apps related to tuning and time keeping are explained. In addition to a general understanding of the instrument I do incorporate a good system for learning to read music notation. For those with some playing experience, exercises and pieces designed to develop technique and confidence are studied.

My school age students typically place high grades in orchestra, and top honors in All State, ILMEA, Solo and Ensemble.



Teach all styles and specialize in technical application. Reading music notation and rudiments of music theory are also taught. My students range in age from 4-84.



Approach the lesson with an open mind, and be prepared to ask questions. Follow the instructors advice! :)



Student recitals are always beneficial I like to have at least two a year. What's fun is to see the progress and instances where a beginner to the instrument can (within a year or so) share their playing ability with others.



A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
The instructor should check to see that the student has the best equipment possible. Also determining if music theory is important to the student is something that should be discussed.
