My violin teaching philosophy is based on the idea that everyone is unique, therefore, my approach is individual and customized, based on your level and goals. In violin playing, as in any other art, that which can be formulated is not a set of unyielding rules but rather a group of general principles that are broad enough to cover all cases, yet flexible enough to be applied to any particular case. The teacher must realize that every student is an individual with his own personality, his own characteristic physical and mental make-up, his own approach to the instrument and to music. Once the teacher recognizes this, he must treat the student accordingly. Naturalness should be his first guiding principle. "Right" is only what is natural for the particular student, for only what is natural is comfortable and efficient. The efforts of the teacher, therefore, must be devoted to making every student as comfortable as possible with the instrument. My violin teaching philosophy and my mission are to help you see what has to be changed and how. My aim is to guide you and assist you in your musical journey and to help you acquire all the necessary skills to become a better violinist, prepare for an audition, or pass an exam. I realize that correct posture and set up is the first step in your success as a violinist, therefore, I emphasize the importance of it and help my students before moving forward. It is my goal to teach my students to be efficient in their practice and creative in their thinking.
