KATE O'BRIEN: Violin, Viola, All Levels.
Having been a professional violinist and violin/viola teacher for
many years, I know how important it can be to supplement a
student's school instruction with one-on-one coaching. Many
talented pupils move ahead rapidly given this opportunity, and
many of my students play with one of our local youth orchestras,
keeping up their interest and commitment all the way through high
school and beyond.
My teaching style is a combination of traditional methods, some of
the better parts of Suzuki training, my own concepts about ear
training and musicianship, the importance of joy and enthusiasm in
playing, and encouragement to play with other musicians (my
students all play in ensembles that I put together several times a
year). I welcome the study of all styles of popular as well as
classical music.
Experience:
-private home studio: 25 years teaching experience with
beginners, intermediate and advanced students, playing classical
as well as folk, jazz, ethnic and improvisational styles.
-Three years in the continuing Education Department at Sacred
heart University.
-Former Director and primary teacher of the New Haven Suzuki
School (was in West Haven).
