Tutoring Experience

Violin/Viola Player with excellent skills and great background experience, playing in different orchestras and bands also playing in a huge audience, working in Philharmonic Orchestra about 16th Years and Cruise Ship Companies about 7th Years as a Band Leader of Strings. Teaching experience of more than 5 years, I have students from 6 to 34 Years old.
I am ready to share my knowledge and ability on how to play Violin/Viola and make studying easy and successful. Also available to teach Music Theory.

Tutoring Approach

My lessons are tailored to each individual student’s needs and requirements, particularly where following the traditional grade exam system alone may fall short in offering a well-rounded musical experience. Violin/Viola lessons will include Improving technique with melodic study pieces which focus on one or maximum 2 aspects of string technique at a time
Ear training to develop an awareness of intonation
Listening, diagnosing, and problem-solving techniques to ensure efficient and effective practice between lessons
Learning how to play in context as an ensemble in Duo(with me)
Sight-reading

Theory / Aural lessons will include

Annotation
Ear training (learning how to memorize and sing back a succession of notes - and eventually melodies)
Interval training (learning to detect by ear the interval between two notes played at the same time)
Dictation (annotating a given melody - for more advanced students)
Rhythm training (learning how to clap increasingly complicated rhythms in different time signatures)
Chords (recognizing different types of chords - Major, Minor, Dominant/Diminished 7th, etc)

I am a Ukrainian who speaks fluent English and lessons can be taught in either of these languages using the Solfège (do re mi) or letter name ( A B C) systems. If a student wishes to transition from one system to another or is interested in learning both, this can be facilitated as well.
