My teaching style is tailored as much as possible to each person, however there are some things I always keep in mind. For one, I try to help each student build proficiency in both music reading and playing by ear. My belief is that these skills are equally important and reinforce each other. My first violin teacher used the Suzuki Method, which is based on the same principles by which each child learns to speak his or her native tongue fluently, and I have seen the benefits of combining listening work with music reading skills in both my own musical career and the lives of my students.

My main music philosophy is to teach sound before sight: teach students to hear the music, and then read the notation. For beginners, I want them to become well acquainted with their instrument so I begin with the basic fundamentals, and then teach some traditional tunes before moving on to reading music. For students who can already read music, I like to work on sight-reading as well as finding solo repertoire that can be performed at recitals. Read More

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 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. I play along with my students to help them with interpretation, phrasing, articulation and dynamics. Read More
