My experience teaching the violin began in my junior year of high school in 2011; my orchestra teacher had me work with my fellow classmates by guiding sectionals, aiding them in practicing the repertoire that was played during class. After I graduated from high school, I started giving both in-person and online lessons to people wishing to pick up the violin or the viola.

For any student, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements series. This method book will help teach the basic fundamentals needed to progress on the instrument.

First lesson I start by assessing what level the student is at and what goals they have with their music and develop a lesson plan from there.
