Arta's Teaching Style

"When meeting with my students, I like to listen each individual student to determine their style of playing, which reflects in their interpretation of their pieces. My goal is to have a creative lesson where the student is fully engaged! I love to teach students how to produce a full tone, be creative, achieve great technique in both hands, be a musical player where notes 'sing together,' and perform well on their instruments.

For repertoire, I always look first the students level and utilize etudes, Suzuki methods, and classical selections including Bach, preludes, sonatinas, sonatas, and concertinos and concertos for violin."
