My desire is for all of my students to know and learn proper technique. For beginner students, I will start with theory basics that are foundational to learning and can be directly applied to their instrument. Once they gain a basic understanding of the fundamentals, I will introduce more complete solo repertoire that they can begin to work on. Depending on the interests, learning desires, and level of the student, I will move forward with what interests them, though I may require some classical selections as I believe it to be a style foundational to a great musician.

For example, Monday the student will be introduce to a new piece of music. As they look at the music they may feel that it is impossible to learned the by the end of the week. But I explain to them that when a person grow they don't physically see themselves growing overtime it just happens. One has to sleep, eat, etc before the body grows. Same in music one has to practice daily (everyday) before you see results. Read More

I like to teach and talk about the songs and styles that were taught to me by my father when I was just getting in to music and guitar. The first thing I remember learning were "Hey Joe" by Hendrix, which is actually simpler than most people would expect. The basic standards of guitar were taught to me when I was first learning, and that's what excites me to teach to the next generation of guitarists. Read More

Instruments: Violin
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I think my personality would be well-suited to another type of career where I got to perform. Secretly I have always wanted to try improv comedy. I love making people laugh!
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
In my immediate family, I am the only professional musician. My dad played drums as a kid, and my mom and I were in church choir together when I was in high school. My sister played the flute. I am now teaching my oldest niece how to play the violin.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in Performance
Professional Performance Certificate
Master's Degree in Music History
By the time I was a junior in high school, I was a serious musician taking lessons, playing in youth orchestra, and listening to classical music non-stop. I was afraid that if I chose something else to do with my life, I would always regret giving up my ability to play this instrument. I loved performing for others (and still do!).
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The ability to stay relaxed while playing. The violin forces the body into such an unnatural position that it is key to find a way to play that does not hurt or cause excess tension.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Recently I was able to perform with both of my collegiate level teachers, and that was very special for me. Another highlight was performing with my undergraduate orchestra in four different cities in Spain in the most beautiful concert halls I've ever seen in my life. It was overwhelming and amazing.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
No good reason, really. I wanted to play the saxophone because I grew up going to my sister's band concerts but in the 5th grade they started the strings program in my elementary school and so I just picked violin on a complete and utter whim.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they are able to focus on a task for 30 minutes, and if they are able to or will start learning to read.
When will I start to see results?
This entirely depends on your willingness to practice on your own outside your lesson.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Not one in particular. I made the decision on my own in high school and was supported by my private teacher after I told him I wanted to study music in college.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
1) Take breaks.
2) Go slow.
3) As you get more comfortable playing a piece or a scale, try to play it all the way through, mistakes and all. Then, you can go back and reassess what needs work.
4) Make sure to go back to just before a tough passage to make sure you're able to play it in context.
5) Breathe! Holding breath can make your playing tight.
