Dear Students,
Welcome to my studio!
I've been teaching violin for over 20 years, and have taught students of every age and level. Right now I teach privately in my home studio in RIchmond, CA.
I use the Suzuki books for beginning and intermediate students, and augment with Doflein, Barbara Barber, and other etude or note reading books. For intermediate and advanced students, I teach the full range of violin repertoire. My students learn scales, arpeggios, double stops, etudes, exercises, ensemble music and solo repoertoire. In lessons, I incorporate sightreading and music theory.
I work to ensure my teaching is the most effective, engaging, and inspiring way to achieve a students' goals.
For interested musicians, I integrate principles of the Alexander Technique into lessons. This means we talk about instrument positioning, equipment options to support good body use, and much, much more.
I offer:
- weekly or twice-weekly private lessons
- regular studio classes throughout the school year
- performances in 2 student recitals per year
- outreach performance opportunities
Contact me if you'd like more information or to schedule a lesson!
See you in the studio,
Dr. Sarah Wood
