“My goal as a teacher is to help each student develop a unique and meaningful relationship with music. I believe that it is only through direct and honest engagement with this art form, that music can make a profound impact in one's life. My students engage in a variety of activities that not only nurture fundamental musical skills, but consistently present challenges for exploration and experimentation.”

“I have extensive experience teaching students from age 4 to professional adults, with a focus on sound quality and proper technique. I use an individualized and creative approach that nurtures each student's inner musician to develop them into the best violinist they can be. I use fun and caring teaching methods that instill in all students a love of music and an appreciation of their special connection to it.”
