Art of Kim Foster
Isn't it Time for a Dedicated Viola Studio?
After all, the viola is NOT merely an add-on instrument for 'doublers'.
We deserve our own home:
One that specializes in viola playing.
A place dedicated to the Art of the Middle Voice.
A place we can cultivate our own identities through
A collective community supporting all things Alto Clef.
My Philosophy..
As your Viola teacher, I believe that my job starts by sparking your awareness: awareness of physical set up, listening skills, musical ideas and technical decisions in order to teach you how to ask 'why' as an artist/performer. Then I teach the tools and skills necessary to solve problems and motivate you to develop a ‘can-do’ attitude. What matters most to me are having students take themselves seriously, make an effort, take my advice, and apply it to their craft. I value developing trust with each and every student in order to guide and mentor them to where they want to go.I pride myself on providing all of this through a supportive and non judgemental environment.

'Kim is really a viola doctor-she has an uncanny ability to get to the root of the problem: in my case, a misplaced, worn out thumb that had been left ‘undiagnosed’ for over 40 years.'
H.H., New York City
'Kim is an inspiring Violist and Teacher. My technique has vastly improved since we started. She's always patient and clarifies all of my many confusions.'
