About Germaine
Orchestral playing, spiccato and staccato bowing, bowing technique, tuning by ear, tone production, shifting positions, vibrato, and grade exam prep form the core of my technical practice. Holding a BMus Music Performance degree from the Eastman School of Music, I have spent 13 years guiding students through the intricacies of the instrument. My pedagogical approach relies on a concept first philosophy to ensure that every movement serves a musical purpose.
Having worked with countless pupils of varying levels, I find that understanding the physics of the bow is what separates a player from a technician. Do you feel ready to refine your grasp of these specific violin techniques?

Sometimes the hardest part of the violin is simply knowing where to start your daily practice. Beginning with a diagnostic assessment before setting the practice plan helps me understand your unique physical relationship with the instrument.
My 13 years of teaching mean I have seen nearly every common hurdle students encounter during their development. I break down complex movements into digestible pieces.
Sometimes speed is an enemy of clarity. Focus is our primary tool here.
We address tension before it becomes a habit. You will find that these sessions emphasize clarity over haste. I am here to help you build a durable and consistent practice routine.
