Violin/ Viola Lessons by Darius Goh

Violin / Viola teacher is my son Darius Goh, who has a Distinction in AMusA. He plays violin and viola in quartets, string orchestras and symphony orchestras in Australia, UK and Singapore. His quartets have won prizes in the Strike-a-Chord competitions. He has been selected to play in the Australian Youth Orchestra on 3 different years, most recently as section leader. He is also a virtuoso soloist, scoring a 45 for his VCE viola performance. He learnt violin first and then the viola. So he can help violinists who want to switch to the viola, or he can also teach violists who want to start as a beginner.

He uses the Suzuki method as the foundation (Books 1,2,3); Fiddle Magic by Sally O’Reilly and Wohlfahrt studies for technique building. He will also teach other fun pieces and play duets with students. At the higher grades, students will be trained by various methods to prepare their violin/ viola technique to play more challenging pieces. If you choose to progress to AMEB qualifications, Darius can help you enrol and prepare for the exam.

Here are his recordings on the violin :

Also a pianist, Darius can help his string students better understand the foundation of music theory. See this video of him explaining how to interpret Impressionist music :
