Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
The first step for all new incoming students would be to set up a FREE Meet & Greet. I like incoming students to know who I am & a little bit about my method of teaching so they know what to expect.
For Newbies:
I start with the basic fundimentals. Posture, Bow Holds, Names of the Strings, & if all is going well the student actually gets to play and learn part of a song right then.
New Students w/ Prior Experience:
I always like to give the student an opportunity to play for me so I can do an evaluation of the student's strengths and weaknesses so I know where to start them. From there I start by building on what the student already knows and filling in the gaps of what needs improvement.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
* Certified Suzuki Instructor through Capital University
* Over 10 years of teaching experience
* Over 10 years of REAL LIFE professional playing as a working musician

How did you get started teaching?
Years before I started teaching I gave a lot of thought to it, but it wasn't till an old teacher in in Nashville, TN moved back to Orlando, FL where I happened to move too also that I started teaching at his family's music school. From the very first lesson I knew I was wired to be a teacher and have enjoyed helping hundreds of students learn to play over the years.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have experience teaching students 3+ from all walks of life.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
A recent Facebook message from a former student's mother:
Hi Jaron, you taught my daughter, Ava, violin about 12 years ago. I just saw your memory post about playing for your nephew. I was pregnant with our second daughter while Ava was in lessons and you usually would play for her (my belly!) at the end. Just want you to know she is now 12 and very musical. She is a strong singer who I am told has perfect pitch you cannot teach, and can play piano by ear. I attribute this to your playing to her before she was born. The rest of our family is lacking these talents! Thought you might like to know you had an impact. Keep doing what you are doing. Emily
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
To quote a former teacher of mine:
"This is a show me business, not a tell me business!"
-Ron Feldman
I would like the opportunity to show you how I can help you. Give me the chance and I will show you!
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Ask the teacher to play for you
Ask to hear a recording of their students
Ask for a clear honest evaluation of where you are at if you have prior experience and how they plan to help you acheive improving.
