Patricia Wnek’s Studio
I graduated from the Peabody Conservatory of The Johns Hopkins University with Bachelor and Masters degrees in violin performance. I also completed coursework in pedagogy and have over a decade of teaching experience. I perform regularly with professional orchestras in Maryland, Virginia, and D.C.
I use varied methodology in my teaching, and determine curricula and instructional style based on the strengths of each student. I often make use of Suzuki books as well as standard Etude and scale repertoire. I keep my lessons fun and engaging, but do ask that each student put in the necessary practice to improve consistently and reap the many benefits of studying music. I strongly advocate setting up structured, regularly scheduled practice times, which I will help each student set up at the beginning of our studies together. Parental support at home is crucial to maintaining a productive practice schedule. I will gladly provide any needed support to help students build healthy study habits.
