Teaching Philosophy

Beth brings a fresh look to learning the viola or violin! For example, the goal for the student may be winning an audition, playing for sheer pleasure, experiencing more enjoyment in orchestra class, or accomplishing a "bucket list" item. Birchcreek creates confidence through music by developing your talent with patience, kindness, work ethic, belonging, and mindfulness. My focus is on the journey-learning to be humble when successful and empathetic towards self/competitor/situation when the outcome is otherwise.
