Dr. Khuri's Violin Studio

A passionate violin professor, Dr. Khuri believes in instructions tailored to each individual student's needs. Whether recording the Beethoven symphonic cycle or a popular Arabic tune, a Kreutzer etude or a Dolab, violin playing is a means of communicating emotions and expressing ideas. Technique is the physical means by which these ideas and emotions can be expressed. Inspired by the teachings of his mentors, Dr. Khuri's approach to violin instructions takes Carl Flesch Scale System and studies of Schradieck, Sevcik, Mazas, Kreutzer, Dont, Rode, Gavenies, and Paganini as a point of departure to improving student's technical skills. In addition to these studies, Dr. Khuri believes that students of violin must play and perform as many compositions from the standard violin literature. Finally, a versatile violinist in the Western and the Arab musical traditions, Dr. Khuri encourages his students to explore other musical traditions. On this note, he created a number of semester-long performance workshops that introduce songs, instrumental compositions, performance practices in traditional Arab music to performance students.
