About Sharon Yung

Greetings to all parents and students! I am very excited to share my passion of making music and violin performance as a teacher at Lesson.com with you! I will share a little bit of background story about myself so you can get to know me. I have been playing the violin for over 35 years, and have been teaching for more than 25 years. I have worked with children from preschoolers to adults! Yes, I do teach in group settings as well as individual lessons. All ages, all levels! I founded and directed and a violin program, The Little People Violin House. All the materials were tailored to each age group, that was an absolutely amazingly fun 10 years of experience I had! Now I have transformed all these precious experiences into the Violin Studio with Sharon!

I was born in Hong Kong, and currently based in Brooklyn, New York. Yes, I speak fluent English, Mandarin and Cantonese, and in fact, I have also taught ESL English, Mandarin and Cantonese Classes! I received my earlier musical training at the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts. During my study at the Conservatory of Music at University of Cincinnati and at Brooklyn College, some of the teachers that had profound influence on my violin playing were the renowned Prof. Igor Ozim, Prof Kurt Sassmanshaus, Itzark Perlman, Maoso Kawasaki and Mela Tenenbaum.

I have been an active violin performer in the greater New York area and have been an active member of Music Under New York since 2018. In 2019 I joined the Times Square Alliance, NYC.

Currently, I enjoy performing the 'Concert from My Living Room' series on multiple virtual platforms. The 'Violin Studio with Sharon' is now providing invaluable resources for violin students of all levels. I am excited to share my solo violin performances on Bandcamp and Patreon.

I am very excited and looking forward to meeting each one of you over the zoom platform and start out violin journey together !

I started teaching violin at a local music school while I was still in college.

I am a classically trained violinist and have been playing the violin for over 35 year. I have worked with students of all levels and of all ages for over 25 years.

About the lesson

In this violin program, we will learn the fundamentals of violin playing. We will learn proper posture, how to hold the violin, place the fingers, plucking the strings, or pizzicato, how to hold the bow, how to read and write music notes in treble clef, count rhythm and beats, as well as learning the basic musical concepts, such as dynamics, pitch, contrast and tempo. All these skills are essentially inter-related to all things pertaining to violin playing.

We will dive into playing our first few tunes on the violin.

We will learn how to maintain and to tune the strings of the violin using a tuner (free downloaded app). This will help you to eventually gain proficiency in recognizing the accuracy of the pitch of each of the 4 strings on the instrument.

There will be a lot of occasions for teacher demonstrations of skills, interactions to check for understanding. Essentially, a mini practice session is built into each lesson, so you know exactly what and how to practice on your own. A video tutorial for each lesson will be provided for you to practice along for the week, an added bonus!

Another added perk, and it's entirely optional, but many learners find extremely useful: You can submit a short video of your practice session for me to give you feedback during the week.

I work with student of all levels and age group, from adult to 3year-old. Individual lessons and group lessons. I also teach beginner levels, as well as students preparing for auditions and exams.

Communication is the key. Talk to any potential teacher about your specific needs and concerns up front and what you would like to get out of the lessons the most, especially if you already have some experience with the violin, or have had a previous violin teacher.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Learning an instrument is a commitment of your time. To see your improvement over time so you will enjoy playing the violin is the result of regular practice sessions. That said, please make sure you have a designated time slot for your violin practice sessions daily along with your weekly lesson.

Sharon is a teacher of quality and I feel that it is a privilege that I am one of her students. 1) Sharon has been patiently working with me (on a video communication platform) to change some bad habits I had developed over the years, that other teachers (in person) overlooked. 2) She is teaching me how to practice, which is critical in the improvement and enjoyment of playing an instrument. 3) For every difficulty I have, she has a simple solution, or method of practice, that I can employ to improve my playing.
My husband has noticed my playing was better from the very first lesson! 😊

Sharon is a very patient teacher and really works hard to help me understand the music. And whenever there is a piece that is particularly difficult for me to understand, she slows down, tries a different approach, and will even draw notes on the screen for me😊

Sharon is MAGNIFIQUE ! She is very patient and I’ve never had an instructor so knowledgeable. It would be easy to just pay for lessons with just anyone, however, I chose the best. Thank you for an exceptionally great experience.
