As I am beginning to teach violin lessons in Los Angeles, I have made a deal with myself to teach in a devoted music space. In times past, I have done the travelling violin teacher gig where I would go to my students' houses for a higher rate. It was convenient for them, but it was rather a nuisance to me. When you travel, it is really hard to be organized exactly right. There would always be one or two items missing that I needed but didn't have. I would have a brilliant flash of genius and want to assign an etude to fix a specific problem, but, alas, my library is too big to travel with me--not to mention my scanner/printer/computer. When I was a graduate assistant at Oklahoma State University, I ran into this same problem while teaching in a different practice room everyday. So I decided that I would set up my violin studio the way that I want it. And even as I am looking to find a location to teach in elsewhere in Los Angeles, I want it to be somewhere that I can set it up and leave it be.
I feel that having a devoted music space will serve my students well, and keep me organized. Teaching violin lessons in Los Angeles is an exciting prospect for me, and I am excited to get started.
