Helena Wang's Music Studio

I am a passionate and serious teacher, committed to teaching the violin to students at all levels. My approach is firm and detailed with the aim of not only inspiring or encouraging a love for music, but fostering a sense of confidence in a student towards their own playing.

I am willing to take into consideration each person's goals whether it be attending AMEB exams, preparing for scholarships, and competitions.

I am especially interested and focused on students who may have issues on the instrument - tension, sound, interpretation. I went through many of these things during my studies and I love solving problems with students in a way that enables them to be independent thinkers.

Violin playing is a marathon, and I work very hard to ensure that my students are set on a musical track that will encourage and motivate them. Open communication between parent, teacher, and student is crucial for understanding and it is important to me to foster a good relationship between myself and the student.
