About the lesson

My teaching philosophy revolves around thorough technique development and instilling confidence for successful performances. I prioritize a deep understanding of technique, enabling students to apply it effectively while making the most of their practice time. I strive to cultivate effortless mastery, equipping students to overcome performance anxiety and excel in high-pressure situations through a strong technical foundation.

Central to my approach is promoting health and sustainability in violin playing, emphasizing relaxation and ergonomic techniques to improve sound quality and prevent injuries. Each student is honored as a unique artist, receiving tailored instruction that nurtures their individual needs and artistic potential. I guide their musical journey, offering support as they shape their own artistic identity and take ownership of their craft.

My curriculum focuses on enhancing musical artistry, interpretation, and technique, supplemented by an emphasis on music theory and musicianship skills. I adapt my teaching methods to suit each student's preferences and goals. Through engagement and inclusion, I incorporate students' musical interests and explore various genres and cultures. Celebrating their progress and milestones, I foster self-motivation and peer support within the musical community, ensuring that each student's musical journey is fulfilling and enriching.

Harold has been a long time teacher of mine and I wouldn't be where I am musically without his guidance. Not only does he have a keen ear for musicianship and an important focus on foundational technique, he's also incredibly supportive and encouraging. Thank you for your help!
