I am a certified secondary science teacher, but for the past 20 years I have taught violin and viola, in both school settings and in my own private studio. I am constantly looking for ways to make learning fun and for ways to creatively motivate my students. I frequently use my own illustrations when making a point and I look forward to sharing my work on Teachers Pay Teachers.
Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences is central to my teaching style. Meeting each child where they are at and catering to their learning style has produced great results. I use the Suzuki Method of teaching violin, based on Shinichi Suzuki's Mother-Tongue Approach, where parent responsibility, loving encouragement, constant repetition, and listening are major components for success.
