For beginning students it's very important to develop their correct habits of posture, how to hold the violin, hands position, correct breathing. I moved them step by step, once the student has progressed with his technical skills, I will introduce him to the Solo repertoire according to his abilities, for his first recital concert. For the adult students, I think it's a good plan to ask them their goals, their thoughts and how much they think they will be able to practice. Read More

I am a passionate teacher who absolutely loves working with students and sharing my love of music! I started violin when I was just 5 years old, and I have been playing ever since! I have been trained in Classical music since I started playing, and I have played in many orchestras and quartets. Performing has been one of the greatest joys and learning experiences in my life! I have been blessed with many opportunities to perform with and learn from some of the greatest musicians in the country, and the world! Read More
Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Violin, Saxophone, Clarinet
My lessons are structured with attention paid to the fundamentals of each instrument and the fundamentals of music. I have learned that when a student practices a mistake over and over it remains a mistake. I immediately slow the student down and concentrate on just a measure or even two notes to accomplish correct rhythm, fingerings, articulations and phrasing. When the student can successfully play a passage correctly then the work turns into fun music making. Read More

I always explore different methods that might fit the age and personality of the student but for keyboard lessons I have found success with the Alfred Piano Method. Instrumental lessons usually follow the method book that is selected by their school band director. Beyond that I have a large library of supplementary music to expand the students interest with new styles and composers.I'm very flexible with the method books and after I get to know the student I can select a method that would work the best for instruction.

I believe that a strong foundation is essential for steady progress and confident performance. A comprehensive approach is my preference. Therefore, when I teach piano, I prefer Faber and Faber Piano Adventures paired with A Dozen a Day for added technique. Since many students in this school district are in band or orchestra, I usually use Essential Elements for Strings, Brass, and Woodwinds. I spend a reasonable amount of time preparing my students for our recitals and many of them join in the group songs, which have included "What a Wonderful World", "Happy", and currently "The Theme From Midnight Cowboy".
