William Carey Suzuki Institute, Hattiesburg
Violin and Viola teacher, Founder and Director
Aug 2012– June 2018
The William Carey Suzuki Institute is based on the teaching philosophy of Japanese violinist Shinichi Suzuki. Dr. Suzuki based his approach on the belief that “Musical ability is not an inborn talent but an ability which can be developed.” He began to apply the basic principles of language acquisition to the learning of music, and called his method the mother-tongue approach. As when a child learns to talk, parents are involved in the musical learning of their child. Listening to music every day is important, and constant repetition is essential in learning to play an instrument. Children age 4 and up are accepted.
Our program offers weekly individual instruction, group classes, recitals and parent-teacher conferences.

Daniela is extremely energetic and organized. She works well with people and is diplomatic and knows when to make a compromise.
She is an excellent musician and viola/violin teacher. she has a forceful but at the same time caring and entertaining personality which children find intriguing and naturally nurtures a disciplined but fun lesson milieu. She is very skilled in teaching large groups of children as well as one on one.
A great choice for either managerial or teaching situations of any kind.LET'S CHAT
