Viola Lessons Northeast

Instruments: Violin, Viola

My private teaching career began in high school, where I was asked by the music teachers in my school district in Westchester, New York to assist in preparing middle- and elementary school students for local competitions and festivals (such as NYSSMA). During college, I was able to maintain a private studio and was fortunate enough to spend summers assistant teaching at music festivals.

Instruments: Piano, Violin, Cello, Viola

My lessons are very student-centered in that I see what the student's goals are and work from there. Read More
