Lessons
I offer lessons in the Chicago area to students from 3 years old to adult, from beginner to advanced, using a combination of the Suzuki method and my own personal brand of education. I believe students learn best by ear when just beginning to play the violin, as learning the proper hold for the instrument and bow can be hampered by learning to read notes at the same time. That being said I also feel that learning to read music is very important and should be started as soon as possible after the age of 7.
