Instruments: Violin

I enjoy teaching because I have a love for music. It's my hope that this love and motivation to play well will be passed on to my students. It's so rewarding to me to see my students learning and growing in their musical abilities. I offer plenty of praise and encouragement. I like to see parents enjoying their children's progress as they master their chosen instrument. It's worth the time and effort to develop these skills. Read More

My philosophy of teaching is that it needs to come from a place of love and patience. I am not a drill sergeant and believe that such teaching is counterproductive to the progression of the individual musician. I believe that each person progresses at their own pace and time. I am here to help my students meet their own goals. I do this by teaching to the specific needs of each student. Read More

For young beginners, I use a lot of the Suzuki Method of teaching. Music games, pitch recognition and rhythms are all introduced as games during the lessons.

I have sung in choirs for thirty years. Over that time, I also performed in several musical plays, and took about 22 college course units in music covering piano, guitar, singing, and musicianship. I took singing lessons with Dr. Ron Shaheen over a five year period. My day job is Mandarin interpreter, and I have time enough to develop as a musician when that work is completed. I believe I could be a good music teacher because I have considerable knowledge of music and skill in singing and playing the violin. Read More
