Happy socially-distanced Thanksgiving!

It is sad to announce that the Brooklyn Violin lessons is only available for remote lessons at the moment until the NYC public schools reopen.

But I am supporting my students for this difficult time by providing online resources, such as the piano accompaniment play-along videos (see YouTube channel). I strongly believe that we can still learn, practice and be inspired remotely.

 

This year, I canceled the Thanksgiving family trip and am doing the socially-distanced Thanksgiving, baking a turkey with my husband and my infant son in Brooklyn. It's all new. πŸ—πŸπŸ‚

 

I am wishing you all happy socially-distanced Thanksgiving!

NEW: Playalong videos on the YouTube channel

Dear my students and the readers of this blog;

I hope you are all safe and healthy in this COVID-19 pandemic.

I have been teaching online exclusively since this March and had to do some adjustment to my teaching method. It was necessary to do something about it to make it as productive as when we were doing in person.

I found it extremely useful to have some play-along videos available online so that my students can listen to them and play along at home. So, I created some videos and posted on my YouTube channel. I will be making and posting more, so subscribe and stay tuned!

There are no advertisements on these videos, so no wasting time for you and are safe for kids to watch. 






If you are interested in taking lessons with me online, please contact me via the contact form and I will be in touch with you shortly.


Happy practicing!

Offering Online Lessons

We have never experienced this situation where everyone needs to stay home and going out is considered to be risky for yourself, and for others. It is tough time for us, New Yorkers. We need to stay together (emotionally, not necessarily physically) and stay positive. I hope something good will come out from this pandemic.

As for me, I delivered my first son in the mid of last month and we are safe and healthy in Brooklyn. Thank you for those who were thinking of us and sending wishes! We cannot wait to explore outside, but for now, we are exploring our new lives inside our apartment and are growing together.

I am currently offering all the lessons online via Skype or FaceTime. Lessons at the studio will start, again after COVID-19 is under control and New York schools are open, again.

Stay safe and healthy!

Winter 2020 Student Recital

Last Sunday, we did our student recital for children, winter 2020.

Everyone played their heart out!



I strongly believe performing is necessary process in learning music. It takes courage, but your learn so much from it. You will gain so much by giving.


Everyone was engaging and it was a strong and beautiful recital.

Thank you, to all the students and their dedicated parents!

Summer Student Recital 2019 Completed!

We completed the summer student recital last week. Very exciting moment for these violinists, and for me, too! They all did amazingly. 


Congratulations to all the dear violinists!
Thank you for sharing your music.



I had a few students who were moving away the same week of the recital and this was their last violin recital in Brooklyn. But they told me they'll be absolutely continuing the violin studies in their new places and am very very happy to hear it. Special congratulations to them for completing their studies with me. 



The next recital will be in the winter. 
I have many students who hasn't tried to play at recitals, but I would say that performing/playing for the audience is the most enriching experience and I highly recommend to do it.

Hope to have many of you in the winter recital!

Love,

Happy new year! Updates and a message.

Happy New Year!

It has been a while to write a post. My new year started with a tour in Japan for my music and I have been absent from teaching for a few weeks. The tour was successful and I am ready to start the new year back in Brooklyn, working on music and teaching.


The end of last year, we had a student concert in a beautiful church in Sunset Park. I was very proud of everyone who attended! Congratulations, again to all of them!





Here is an inspiring message from Anne Sophie-Mutter, a legendary violinist that I admire.



"You better become a real human being before you want to become a musician."


Happy playing in 2019!
