The best award for the teacher is seeing his student develops his own talent. And I'm sure that every one is talented and the only question is how it talent will be enriched and developed. I encourage my student being their true self in performing, feeding from traditional and modern sources but keeping his own unique voice or playing style, accomplishing his personal goals, without comparing his own dynamics and results with other people, but working on becoming better than himself every day of learning.

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce a solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More

I have had the passion of teaching piano since I started building experience through further studying Piano Pedagogy. The courses I was honored to take were extremely valuable for the piano teaching jobs I was able to find for the next decade. My most rewarding experience was when my long-term student of 5 years won first place in her first "Battle of the Bands" for playing Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are". Read More

Aim for 5 to 6 days of practice EVERY week. Consistency is key, even if it is only for 15 minutes! Whatever you do, make sure you practice right after your lesson AND the day following - retention will be 90%! When practicing, aim 3 times in a row flawlessly. For longer and more challenging pieces, be sure you are practicing in small sections. A fun way to do this is through the Penny Game or cards and counters ask me how! 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.
