Violin, Viola & Theory Lessons
Description
I have over 30 years of professional performing and teaching experience and received an 'Excellence of Teaching' Provincial Award in 2019. Was a Finalist for the RCM'S 125 Year National All Instrument Teacher Award. From and having trained in Europe (Vienna, Austria), of Czech heritage, I performed extensively as both soloist and leader with orchestras and ensembles across N. America, and toured Asia. I teach all levels and ages 4 and up (incl. adults). I have raised several generations of violinists and violists, who have carried the love of the instrument and music into their adult lives, many of who also persuing careers as professional musicians. They, and also those not going into music professionally, have won many local, provincial, national and even international competitions, received accolades, awards and scholarships, along with highest marks on local, provincial, national and international music examinations. My students have won countless 1st Places at local, provincial, national and international festivals and those going into music were accepted on full scholarships to universities Internationally, with prizes of high end instruments. I cater my teaching to suit each student, their goals and needs. Please ask me for a detailed descriptionof my teaching method. My aim is that each student plays effortlessly and enjoys what they are doing and how they sound. I take pride in providing great technique and musicianship, along with a beautiful tone. I have performed, adjudicated and been a judge at music festivals and competitions locally, provincially and nationally, as well as a music director, conductor, masterclass clinician, instructor and coach at various music and summer music academies and universities, such as UBC. I hold a Bachelors ('96) and a Masters ('98) in Performance and received top prizes, scholarships and awards during my studies and career. Currently I am becoming an RCM Examiner. Performingand coaching chamber music is somethingI love and have done extensively as well. I look forward to answering any questions you may have and to offering you music instruction.
