My teaching experience began in my late high school days in 2018. After graduating college, I was excited for the opportunity to work with more students and give them my undivided attention. I currently teach students of all ages, and different playing levels. I love that I can teach music to a diverse collective of students and that each student has their own strengths. I love to emphasize those strengths to encourage them when playing the violin can feel difficult. I’ve been playing the violin for 15 years and teaching for 5 years and I look forward to every opportunity to teach a new student.

For all beginner students I like to start with Essential Elements 2000 for violin. I find it is a great way to introduce reading music notation for students who haven’t learned yet. Once the student has a good grasp on reading music and playing in upright position, I like to introduce introductory solo repertoire with Suzuki Violin School. I find this is a great way to introduce violin techniques like tone development along with performance elements. I tailor the music lessons to each student and love to incorporate musical games and activities for younger children to keep them engaged.
