I have been teaching children of all ages and performing around the world- most recently in Vienna, Austria- for over a decade. I also had the opportunity to work as a music director for a youth orchestra in Italy which improved my skill in orchestral direction as well as working with large ensembles. Teaching has always been my greatest passion mainly due to the great pedagogues that have guided and inspired me to pass on the invaluable knowledge and skill to future aspiring musicians. I am certain that every child has vast potential and it is my great ambition as a teacher to extract those talents and nurture their creativity.  I believe that encouraging students to find a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationship to music will strengthen their aspirations to not only be exceptional artists, but also human beings. 

Every child learns differently and at various paces; that's why I like incorporating a few different methods in my teaching. I typically use Suzuki along with eastern and western European methods.
