TEACHING

Over the last 16 years in the studio, Florrie has taught students from undergraduates and graduate students at Yale University to suburban Newport News, VA and the New Haven Public School System, ranging in technical ability and age from 3-73. In recent years as a guest teaching artist at programs such as the Next Generation Residency at East Carolina University School of Music, she has presented masterclasses, coached chamber music and has led by example in side-by-side performance settings.

Coming from a long heritage of musicians of both teachers and performers, I have always valued the importance of passing down an art form. Whether my students are developing artists on a more advanced level, or if I am sharing music on their instrument with them for the first time, I approach my work as a teacher with joy and inspiration.

I am lucky to have come from a family of musicians and music teachers. My grandparents and parents were all teachers, so my home environment was filled with music lessons as early as I can remember. I began teaching when I was 14 years old and was directly mentored in my teaching by my own private teacher. I was observed by my teacher during the first couple of years of my own teaching, getting feedback and guidance to shape my approach as a teacher to my own students.

About the lesson

When I first welcome a student into my studio, I have an in-depth session where we discuss past performance history (if any) and goals with the instrument. I discuss with each student an approach and a schedule that will work for them to reach their individual goals.

I have taught students from undergraduates and graduate students at Yale University to suburban Newport News, VA and the New Haven Public School System, ranging in technical ability and age from 3-73. In recent years as a guest teaching artist at programs such as the Next Generation Residency at East Carolina University School of Music, I have presented masterclasses, coached chamber music and has led by example in side-by-side performance settings.

Look for a teacher with experience, and with an open mind to approach the lessons and the curriculum to best suit the needs of the individual student. No two students are the same, and everyone has their own best way of learning.

I presented “A Concert on Memory,” under the direction of The Sound Bridges at Grace Hopper College, Yale University | 2018

• Featured the world premiere of commissioned work “Grace Hopper" String Quartet, by composer Liliya Ugay

• Through music and poetic narration, this concert explored relationships among “technological memory,” made possible by the foundational computer work of Grace Hopper; “aural memory,” with which composers engage for maximum impact through their music; and “social memory,” from the perspective of artists who believe in the importance of preserving the memory of social happenings

• I organized and executed event including pitched concert proposal to the venue; implemented all marketing/advertising, booking of artists, coordination of rehearsal schedules, and wrote a summary review of the concert for publication

• A scholarly article will be published on the inspiration and execution of this project and its impact on the community by which it was inspired

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Consider what your personal and/or professional goals are with the instrument, and be prepared to discuss that with your potential teacher.

My son who is 11 has been taking violin lessons from Florrie for a year. She is absolutely extraordinary! Both in her talent and in her ability to teach and relate to youth. My son loves his time with her. I can’t recommend Florrie Marshall enough!

Florrie is an extremely talented musician who is also a very capable teacher. It is hard to find teachers with both talents. Florrie's musical pedagogy encompasses techniques passed down from several of the strongest traditions in violin, so she is able to take talented students far beyond the level that many teachers top out at. Florrie moves her students to develop confidence, grit and grace along side technique, so that they can achieve their musical goals.
