About Ted

I specialize in silent practice methods designed for busy or anxious learners who want to maximize progress without always needing the instrument in hand. Techniques like mental fingering, silent bowing, and air violin help students deepen their connection to the music quietly and efficiently. Visualization exercises play a central role, guiding the mind through detailed performance scenarios to build strong memory and confidence. We work on performance memory and tension awareness, learning to identify and release physical and mental stress that can block progress. My approach encourages relaxed preparation, so students feel calm and ready rather than overwhelmed. I emphasize small, focused sessions that fit busy schedules, helping learners make meaningful improvements daily. Students develop independence in their practice, gaining tools to manage their own progress thoughtfully. This method also supports emotional growth, as learners cultivate patience and resilience through mental training. The result is a steady, confident musical development that extends beyond the violin. Whether preparing for a performance or simply enjoying music privately, my students learn to trust their abilities and enjoy the journey. Together, we create a sustainable, balanced approach that honors each individual’s pace and lifestyle. This process transforms challenges into calm, productive practice.

I am a dedicated violin tutor with 7 years of teaching experience and a Bachelor of Music in Chamber Music, focusing on the violin. My passion lies in nurturing young learners, especially children aged 4 to 10. I believe early musical education should be both fun and foundational. To achieve this, I use color-coded notation that makes reading music approachable and exciting. Movement games are an essential part of my lessons, helping kids internalize rhythm and develop coordination. Beginner songs are carefully chosen to build pitch recognition and confidence. My teaching environment is playful yet structured, balancing creativity with clear goals. I encourage students to explore music at their own pace while cultivating discipline. From the very first lesson, I focus on building both technical skills and self-assurance. Watching my students grow as musicians and individuals brings me immense joy. I tailor lessons to each child’s unique personality and learning style. This personalized approach ensures lessons remain engaging and effective. Music is a journey, and I’m here to guide young students every step of the way. Together, we create a strong musical foundation that lasts a lifetime.
