Everyone has the capacity to be a musician...therefore, I teach students of all ages and include all cultures (all styles and musical genres). No one is a 'beginner' when it comes to recognizing great music, so I strive to create musicians who can reach their own goals...thus, building independence is the key: My job is done when my students can do what I do without needing me! For more experienced students, I assess your present skills upon our first lesson via a variety of repertoire so as to 'diagnose' what areas you need improvement on musically speaking. Read More

These materials allow students to review concepts between lessons and track their improvement over time. I also incorporate diagnostic assessments to identify strengths and areas of growth, ensuring that each student’s progress is clear and measurable.

For beginners, it's important to build from a solid foundation, so I emphasize on creating a strong understanding of musical concepts.

For students with previous musical experience, we decide together if the student would like to continue with their current curriculum or move in a different direction. Read More

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.

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
