Group Lesson

The Group Lesson will be led by Wei Lin. During the lesson, Mrs. Lin will use elements of the Lin Yao-Ji Teaching Method to help students develop a solid foundation for playing violin.

The Group Lesson activities and curriculum are based upon the pedagogical philosophy and instruction methods of renowned Chinese violin professor Lin Yao Ji. Prof. Lin trained more than two generations of the best violinists in China, and a summary of his fascinating career can be found here.
 
The core principles of Lin Yao Ji’s unique teaching method include:
  1. Cultivating an interest in music
  2. Learning to observe nature with music
  3. Establishing a scientific way to practice
  4. Exploring the close relationships between the violin, nature, and life
  5. Including parents as a crucial participant in their children’s violin studies

 

The group lessons develop a student’s personal understanding of violin playing and help students share their experiences with others in a fun and non-competitive environment.

Music Theory, Sight-Reading & Composition

Enhance Your Musicality with Music Theory, Sight-Reading, and Composition Classes!

At the William Pu Music Academy, we offer music theory, sight-reading, and composition private lessons for students of all levels. These classes are designed to develop essential musicianship skills including ear training, solfege, sight-reading, and harmonic analysis.

By mastering these skills in class, students can optimize their own instrument learning and performing. This allows their instructor to focus on refining technique and exploring new musical pieces, maximizing the overall learning experience.
