Teaching Philosophy

Learning music not only cultivates character but also helps children develop focus and a resilient “Athlete’s Spirit.” Through joyful learning, I aim to unlock each child’s limitless potential and guide them toward becoming independent learners. This way, they can face challenges in music and future studies with a positive and proactive attitude, making music an essential part of their lives.

Violin Lesson

The violin, known for its beautiful and delicate tone, plays a key role in orchestras but is challenging for beginners.

In my violin lessons, beginners first focus on developing the correct posture for holding the violin and the bow. Once these basic movements become more natural and stable, students can progress to learning simple pieces. Throughout the learning process, students will also cultivate endurance and perseverance, while ear training remains a key component of the curriculum to enhance their listening abilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I learn the violin without any piano background?
Yes, it is absolutely possible. There is no rule that you must learn piano before learning another instrument. However, having a piano background can make it easier to pick up a second instrument.

2. How do I choose a violin if I have never learned it before? When should I upgrade to a new one?
The selection of a violin depends on the individual’s physical development. The teacher will evaluate this during the first trial lesson and provide recommendations.

3.Do parents need to be involved in their children's violin lessons?

Yes, parental involvement is recommended. Learning an instrument requires effort from three parties. During lessons, the teacher provides guidance and instruction, but since lesson time is limited, parents are encouraged to guide their children and create a musical environment at home. This approach ensures more efficient and effective learning.

4. When will I be able to play a simple piece on the violin?
A common challenge for beginners is impatience with practicing the basics, often finding it repetitive or boring. This is understandable, and lesson plans can always be adjusted through discussion with the teacher. Mastering the fundamentals is crucial, and the time it takes to play a simple piece depends on the individual’s practice time and learning progress.
