Corina Brito
 Corina Brito has a B.A. in violin
performance from St. Marcelina College in Sao
Paulo, Brazil, and an M.A. in arts
administration from the London
City University in the UK. She
has been teaching violin and general music for over twenty years. She also has been
a children’s choral director in the Maryland and Virginia public school system.
Since moving to the U.S. in 1992, Corina has adjudicated many
strings competitions in Maryland,
Ohio and Georgia.
She truly enjoys the opportunity of meeting new talent and the
opportunity to motivate students to continue their musical growth through her comments in
adjudication forms.
Corina Brito has played in symphony orchestras, string orchestras,
and chamber groups as well as solo recitals. Over the past five years,
her passion for music has led
her to explore many different ways to express her instrument, via
performances with Irish bands, Tango music groups, and even Gypsy combos. She has
also produced and played music for CD ROMs and is currently working on
an album of Brazilian and North American tunes.
Corina has taken training from well-known Suzuki teacher-trainers
Martha Shackford, Ronda Cole, John Kendall, Carrie Reuning-Hummel,
Lorraine Fink and Kimberly Meier-Sims.
Corina Brito’s teaching approach is based on the core belief in
Suzuki philosophy that “Every Child Can” learn to play the
violin. The “Talent Education” program, as the Suzuki method
is known in its native Japan, advocates that talent is a by-product of the environment and
not of genetics. Such an environment is created by nurturance,
persistence, and consistency. At the heart of Corina’s studio, is
a successful Suzuki Triangle made of teacher, student and
parent.
Corina implements the Suzuki pedagogy in highly creative ways, often
using games, singing and
movement. She provides an encouraging environment in which students can
develop their musical
potential. Corina teaches students as young as three years old,
previously trained Suzuki
students, and adults. She also teaches students who would like to
continue their training in the “traditional” violin
method.
Corina Brito is a member of Suzuki Association of the
Americas, the Suzuki
Association of Georgia and the American String Teachers Association.
