Hi! My name is Tessa. As a violinist, I've been touring around the world for many years and in terms of teaching, I believe that giving each student eliable and effective methods to improve in all areas is very important. My goal is to set up beginners with a strong foundational technique, and I will provide completely personalized lessons for all students depending on their needs. For beginner or kids from 5 years old, I will help them to read the notes on staff and to be familiar with the basic fingerings. Then, I will begin to start short pieces and some easy etudes to build stronger and solid fingers. Meanwhile, suggest the students some music to listen for building their music expression and interpretation. For the adult or teenager, I would like to know their levels and ask what is his/her goal, then decide where to start and what the material will be. The first lesson is just to meet the students and have a little talk, perhaps play a little bit just to see what level they are at.
