What is Deborah’s experience?
A dedicated educator, Deborah has over eight years of violin teaching experience. She first started teaching in her early high school years in Illinois, but decided to gain more training during college before continuing teaching. After finishing her master’s degree, she returned to NYC and has been teaching ever since through various programs and privately. Deborah currently is teaching at her private studio in Brooklyn, at Riverside Music Studios in Manhattan, and also online via Zoom and Skype. She previously taught group violin classes in the NYC Public Schools through the Noel Pointer Foundation.
How do lessons work?
Deborah accepts students of all levels, aged three through adult. Individual private lessons meet once per week and are 30-minutes, 45-minutes, or 60-minutes in length. Additionally, Deborah hosts online monthly performance classes according to student's age and level to hone performance and note-reading skills. Formal student recitals are usually offered twice per academic year.
What would I study?
Lessons are tailored to each student's individual goals and learning style, although Deborah always emphasizes musical understanding and creativity with the support of a comfortable technique. In addition to learning repertoire, lessons include age appropriate note-reading activities and games so the student will be able to read music as well as play violin. Deborah mostly teaches classical music, but enjoys mixing in other genres according to the student’s interests and encourages musical exploration.
