Instruments: Violin, Cello, Viola

I will always set goals that I know are within reach for my students. I want to create an environment that will help them develop a passion for music in a way in which they are comfortable, not frustrated.

Post Baccalaureate Educator looking to provide guidance to musicians on their great musical journey. My degree is in Violin and Piano Performance. I studied with professors that graduated from Eastman, Manhattan, Michigan, Boston, and Curtis among many others. Ive always been interested in discovering the many ways one could teach an instrument. After learning piano from the age of 5 I started violin around 10 years old. I come from a family of non-musicians so my situation was quite special in the way I pursued music without the influence of family or friends. Read More

I am a passionate and fun loving instructor who adores bonding with students over a shared love of the cello.

Instilling passion, determination, and drive in my students encapsulates my teaching style. I have been a competitive musician, performer, and teacher for years. I understand the blood, sweat, and tears that go into becoming a quality musician. I want to be an uplifter and cheerleader for all my students. On the other hand, I do not have the capacity to teach those who do not want to be taught. I will not accept students that do not have the desire to play their instruments. Read More
