For beginners who are children, I typically use Faber and Faber's Piano Adventures. One of my biggest goals while teaching is to provide my students with a well-rounded music education. From my experience, the Piano Adventures series aligns well this goal while providing engaging, fun material for children. After completing a series of method books, I start to focus on classical repertoire. While I believe classical repertoire is the best way to build piano technique, musicianship, and musical knowledge, I love including other genres depending on the student's interest. Read More

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor of Music in Viola Performance and a Master of Music in Viola Performance degree. I chose to pursue these degrees in performance because I have a deep passion for playing the viola and a strong desire to share my knowledge and expertise with aspiring musicians like your child.
During my undergraduate studies, I focused on honing my technical skills and developing a solid foundation in music theory and history. This allowed me to become a proficient violist and gave me the necessary tools to excel as a performer. I also had the opportunity to work closely with renowned professors and mentors who further inspired and guided me in my musical journey.
For my Master's degree, I wanted to continue refining my performance abilities and delve deeper into the art of viola playing. This degree provided me with more advanced training, access to a wider range of repertoire, and the chance to collaborate with talented musicians, all of which helped me reach a higher level of proficiency and artistry in my playing.
Ultimately, my choice to pursue degrees in Viola Performance was driven by my love for the instrument and my desire to pass on my knowledge and passion to the next generation of musicians. I believe that a strong foundation in performance is essential for anyone wishing to excel in the world of music, and I am dedicated to helping your child develop their skills and reach their full potential as a violinist or violist.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Well, it's wonderful that you're interested in my dream piece to perform on the violin or viola. There are so many incredible compositions out there, but if I had to choose just one, it would be the Sibelius Violin Concerto for the violin and the Walton Viola Concerto for the viola.
The Sibelius Violin Concerto is a true masterpiece that captures the essence of the Northern landscapes and evokes a deep emotional connection. Its soaring melodies and dramatic passages make it a thrilling piece to perform. What I love most about it is its ability to convey a wide range of emotions, from haunting melancholy to triumphant exuberance. As a musician, I would relish the opportunity to immerse myself in this concerto and convey its powerful storytelling through my playing.
On the viola, the Walton Viola Concerto is a true gem. This concerto is known for its lyrical beauty and the intimate connection it forges between the performer and the audience. It's a piece that requires not only technical mastery but also a deep understanding of its emotional nuances. The way it explores different moods and textures is truly captivating. Performing the Walton Viola Concerto would be a dream come true because of its unique ability to touch the hearts of those listening.
Both of these concertos are like musical journeys, and I believe that as a performer, they would allow me to express myself fully, bringing out the rich colors and emotions of the violin and viola. They are also a testament to the incredible depth and diversity of the repertoire available for these instruments, and I would be honored to share their beauty and complexity with audiences. Ultimately, it's the opportunity to connect with the audience through these powerful works that makes them my dream pieces to perform.
