Scott Belleri Violin Studio
Scott Belleri began studying the violin at the age of 7, under the guidance of Suzuki teacher Elizabeth McClung. After acceptance into the Dreyfoos School of the Arts, where he studied violin performance and music theory, he began studying with Thomas Tsaggaris, Julliard violinist, co-founder and first conductor of the Palm Beach Symphony. While receiving his Suzuki teacher training from Martha Shackford, he began volunteering with the Portland Suzuki Project, a non-profit which provided free in-school violin classes in an underserved public school. He subsequently served on the board for three years. He also has a background in Alexander Technique and Feldenkrais.
Scott believes in Dr Suzuki's tenet that Every Child Can, given the proper environment and loving guidance. The combination of private and group lessons, musical immersion, and supportive parental involvement is the key to success. He also enjoys working with adult students, helping to cultivate their skill while they follow their individual interests. He believes that understanding proper body use is the key to good technique and creative expression.
