<![CDATA[All About Violin Classes and Teachers]]>Hi,


Anyone know of a good violin teacher to recommend? I am looking for one to come to my place (Clementi) to coach my 5 year old. Any idea what is the normal rate (fees) like?

We all know that they deserve nothing less than the best!


Please feel free to elaborate on the process(es) that you are currently going through to select/filter a suitable teacher/center and other possible considerations that I might have left out as well!

Cheers and thanks in advance! :xedfingers:

Any of you had the pleasure of being taught by the violin instructor Zhang Ying from NAFA? My kid might be taking a trial lesson with her soon. Thank you!

I’m an adult currently learning violin. I had done some grade 1 content previously with my former teacher. When I expressed my interest in taking ABRSM 2, my former violin teacher (private) is confident of me taking in 3 months’ time after taking her classes for 2 months only.
She will also go through the basic techniques and scales every class and it helped me build foundation to it.

However, due to schedule issue, I moved on to my current violin teacher (in a school). After learning 4 months with her and expressed my intention in taking ABRSM grade 2, she said I still need another 5 months to do that. This is a vast difference from what my previous teacher said…

Also, the current teacher has never used a METRONOME before in class. I’m starting to doubt her way of teaching as we always, quite aimlessly, just flip to one song to the other without mastering the song? It’s like… every lesson is a new song, doesn’t matter if I play badly. It felt kind of random, brief, no mastery, but just moving on to another new song every lesson. There’s no metronome and she did not practise or test me to play to the actual speed. So far, she had never used my Theory Book…

On the contrary, my former teacher used a METRONOME and perhaps take 2 lessons to learn a song to make sure I can play well, and faster and faster, to meet the actual speed of the song (e.g. Andante etc).

I’m not sure if it’s normal for violin teacher not to use metronome at all, and to go on to another song and did not require you to play up to the speed…

Can someone advise?

Move your hands to portray the characters in the rhyme. As a result, children will get excited and raise their hands as well. As a teacher, it is your responsibility to assist your students in overcoming their shyness. Not only teachers, but as a parent, you must make it for your kids easy to learn music and sing. You can admit your kids to https://www.mandevilleconservatory.com/main/classes/piano/for a better experience.

Thanks

My child is in one of the community orchestras and she had 1 sectional out of the 6 months she was there, since in-person rehearsals resumed. So just trying to compare notes across groups.

I think there are limited choices of orchestras for primary school age children. However, once they reach secondary school, the choice will be much wider for them to choose from. My child didn't try for SNYO initially as her school CCA (sports related) is very hectic. Now, even if she can get in, her Sat schedule clashes with the sinfonia rehearsal schedule. :? No chance liao...

Maybe every other week sectionals? Not quite sure. Been crazy covid schedules. It's not individual lessons. Anyway you seem to know quite much about the many orchestras.

Thanks, phankao. I meant to ask how many of the weekly rehearsals are sectionals. Quite interested to find out how often they are coached by the professionals.

For CC based orchestras, twenty years ago, there was only one but I think a few more have been established over the years. I haven't been keeping up with the changes to know the exact number now.

There are also some private music schools with string orchestras (with monthly participation fees) that players not from their schools can join.

Hi, just wondering if anyone knows how often sectionals are held in community orchestras (eg SNYO sinfornia/main orchestra, OMM, CC-based orchestras)? Is it more like once every 6 months or once every month? I read in the writeups that some orchestras may have accomplished players/professionals to guide them during sectionals. Thank you.
Rehearsals, you mean? Are there many CCR based orchestras? Snyo sinfonia rehearses every Saturday morning throughout the school year. Main orchestra has 3 or 4 concert seasons each year and during concert seasons would rehearse Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons. Rehearsals can be tutti or sectionals and yea when they do have sectionals it is led by SSO instructors. OMM rehearsals should be based on each concert.

Anyone has any reviews or would care to share your experience with Wolfgang Violin?
Currently with wolfgang. started daughter there since her violin journey began.Coming to 4 years now.

Teachers are generally OK. The administration is not the best though. Teachers can change rather frequently - i had 4 changes in less than 3 years. heard that Mrs Lee is not the easiest person to work for. Teachers are not allowed to tell you if they are leaving - I tried to ask the admin, but they had not been forthcoming. everytime there is a change, it is very disruptive and a fair bit of time is wasted for the new teacher to find out where the level is and what needs to be worked on.

At end of day, much depends on the teacher who is teaching. Have been with current one for last 1.5 years and I find her suitable for my daughter. Nonetheless, if I can find an equally good teacher at a better timing which my child can connect with, I would not hesitate to try as well.

hope this helps!
