Philosophy
Transform your practice time. It is my belief that through dedicated practice and active learning, students will learn how to achieve the skills necessary to grow as individuals and great musicians.
Learn to Approach Music Imaginatively
It’s important that all students think about their music, and to explore what it might be about. The idea is to play expressively, musically and thoughtfully.
Individual Approach to Every Student
Each student will be treated as an individual, tailoring lessons to his or her unique needs, temperament and interests.
Friendly, Approachable Teaching
Learning to play the violin takes focus, but it should never be a chore. Students learn best in an environment of joy and creative discovery.
Testimonials
“I can’t say enough about Alex Raab and his violin studio!! Our daughter searched through 5 other violin teachers and no one cares more about the kids love of violin, music and learning than Alex.
The studio has a great approach to teaching in emphasizing musical independence, perseverance and engaged learning which really takes the kids and their music to another level.”
“What a patient teacher! Alex has been working with my kinesthetic 4 year old granddaughter for a year and she has made leaps despite being the wiggliest, most cantankerous of students. I highly recommend him. (I played viola for 10 years.)”
“I’m an adult who has taken violin lessons with Alexander for several years. Alex is highly skilled, supportive, and extremely easy to work with. I also really enjoy the summer orchestra which gives me an opportunity to play together in a low pressure, fun, environment; but one which can be as challenging as you want to make it. I work full time, so I mix zoom lessons as well as in person. If you’re an adult who has been thinking about starting or resuming playing music, this is a great time to do it, and I would highly recommend Alex Raab Violin for lessons.”
