About Brian

Currently I perform as part of the Stony Brook Symphony Orchestra and with my quartet in the Emerson String Quartet Institute. I have performed with numerous ensembles at Peabody, including serving as principal viola in the Peabody Symphony and Chamber orchestras and as a member of the Peabody String Sinfonia, a student-led ensemble built around community engagement and impact. I have enjoyed performing in as diverse venues as public elementary schools and the Kennedy Center. Past teachers include professors Choong-jin Chang, Victoria Chiang, and Philippe Chao. Festival experience includes fellowships at the Garth Newel Music Center, Madeline Island Chamber Music, and the Renova Music Festival, as well as three summers on partial scholarship at the Eastern Music Festival.

Feel free to start a conversation with me any time about lessons for yourself or your child; finding the right teacher can be hard, and I offer a trial lesson free with no commitment so that we can see if we are a good match.

About the lesson

Hello!

I am a Long Island-based viola and violin teacher currently working towards a Master's degree in viola performance at Stony Brook University, under the direction of Matthew Lipman and Lawrence Dutton. I have taught more than 20 violin and viola students ages 6-70 over the past 5 years, and I continue to maintain a hybrid studio in Northern Virginia in addition to lessons online and on Long Island, including at a Music and Arts store in Stony Brook. I hold a Bachelor of Music degree in viola from the Peabody Institute of Music in Baltimore.

I care deeply about the quality of my lessons, and I continuously improve my teaching materials to meet the needs of each student and to reflect each new insight I gain about string playing. My approach in lessons is based on having a long term plan for each student of becoming an excellent all-around musician, while achieving satisfying results in the short term. The most important skill I focus on with every student, young and old, is being able to analyze a technical or musical problem, break it down into a set of realistic steps, and work with efficiency to gain and retain the results. In other words: understanding how to practice in a rewarding but challenging way.

Brian taught my son violin. He was wonderful and patient with my 8 year old first time player and kept him engaged. My son especially enjoyed that he would adapt songs for him, Like "Eye of the Tiger" and "Thunderstruck", which he got a kick out of playing.

He is a very good teacher and has helped me in many ways as a violist, both technically and musically. He also has a very nice way of teaching and has helped me to get better practicing habits. I would definitely recommend him to anyone learning the viola.
