In
my studio, I teach all
ages of
students at varying levels of interest and ability. We adjust the
program to suit the student, though there are parameters that are
constant with all students. Students are taught the techniques of
how to hold an instrument & the bow
tune
the instrument
how
to correctly use the fingers to produce the pitches with good tuning
(intonation)
how
to produce the most beautiful quality sound
I
emphasize learning the literacy skills
associated with making music.
Reading
music enables the musician to play any song or piece of music
independently.
We
seek to develop the best attitude and the best physical posture.
Private
Lessons:
email
to sign up. Please
include your name & phone number with your request.
 Musicianship:
Instrumental students also receive training in the areas of basic
musical knowledge that they need in order to be well rounded musicians.
These include music reading, sight singing, rhythms, chords, etc.
Periodic assessments are made to ascertain areas needing more
scholarship. Assessments are accomplished during lessons through
observations, questions, and computer testing, as well as theory-book
work.
We
study all kinds of repertoire, including requests of favorite pieces or
songs of the student. We add exercises whenever necessary, and I
encourage my students to play together with other musicians at your
current level, to increase the enjoyment of playing music. This
includes chamber music such as duets, trios, quartets, etc., and
participation in orchestras. I encourage all prospective students and
their parents, when appropriate, to e-mail me any questions about the
study & performance of music. For more information about Harris
Shilakowsky, press here.
I
also coach chamber music ensembles for students who are interested.
Come hear talented students performing beautiful music and help support

What
you can expect:
At our first lesson
we'll get to know each other. You'll bring your instrument if you have
one. We will talk about your goals & what you'd like to get
from your study of the violin. We'll discuss any previous history, if
any that you've had playing the violin. You'll play for me whatever
you're comfortable playing and show me any materials you've studied,
i.e., pieces you've played or studied, technique, scale books, etc.
This will enable me to assess your knowledge of music and level of
playing or proficiency. With these and the answers to a few questions,
I'll be able to set up your custom-designed program of study and we'll
figure out your ideal schedule.
Your lessons will begin at the time and date that we will figure out
together.
You mayenroll
at any time of the year.
