Instruments: Violin

Growing up in a musical family, I developed a love of music from an early age. As an undergraduate at Brigham Young University-Idaho, I studied violin under Dr. Dallin Hansen and earned an undergraduate degree in music education. As an instrumentalist, I have performed with the BYU-Idaho Symphony, BYU-Idaho Sinfonietta, BYU Philharmonic Orchestra, Idaho Falls Symphony, Utah Philharmonic, Utah Philharmonia, and Salt Lake Symphony. I obtained my Masters in Music with an emphasis in Orchestral Conducting at Brigham Young University. Read More

I believe that no one system works for every student. My main focus in teaching is to find the best way for each student to learn and to enjoy playing. I know that if the student doesn't like their lessons, it makes it more difficult to learn and may lead to that student deciding they no longer want to play. In each lesson, we will work on as much technique as possible, but as long as students continue to learn and are motivated to play, I won't push them beyond what they are ready or willing to do.
