Ear Training and Music Theory for High School and beyond:

For students and parents who are serious about taking their music education to deeper levels, we are forming classes in Ear Training and Music Theory. Classes will be taught by Jeremiah Goyette, PhD Music Theory from Eastman School of Music in Rochester. Jeremiah is a violinist who also teaches and performs classical, blues, jazz and other alternative styles. He is an active composer and arranger.

Please email me if you are interested in taking part in these classes.

Suzuki Violin Group Class for ages 4-7

This class, geared towards children ages 4-7, uses the Suzuki Method to teach beginning violin.  Students will learn the basics of proper posture, left hand position, bow hold, and tone production, as well as developing their musical ear through listening and singing.  However, there's more! The difficulties presented in learning the violin are many, and require daily practice and effort (like many worthwhile things in life).   Yet with the support of parent and teacher, any student who genuinely strives to follow practicing guidelines as given in lessons will learn to play their instrument with ease, musicality, and joy.
