Teaching
Stephane Tran Ngoc has been a violin teacher for over two and a half decades.
After teaching in the Noisy le Grand conservatory as a teenager, he taught with great success at the Paris conservatory as a teacher's assistant, Brooklyn College preparatory division, the Center for professional studies in Tarbes, the Lyon Superior National Conservatory of Music and the Lawrence University Conservatory of Music where he is currently teaching. Many of his former students have reached very high levels of playing, winning concerto competitions, being international prize winners or now playing in some of the world's best orchestras.
His approach reinforces the best possible use of the body, avoiding any tension and allowing for complete freedom of motion and expression. Thus, he has become especially acute in teaching and solving bow technique problems. To extend this area of work he has recently been teaching a Bow Technique for String Players class at Lawrence University. His chamber music experience also make him a very knowledgeable chamber music coach and his studio at Lawrence is rapidly gaining well deserved recognition.
