For violin I usually use Suzuki Method and will introduce etudes like Wohlfahrt or Kreutzer. I also have fun with Christmas music, pop and fiddle. If they are young children aged 4-6, I will use the "I Can Read Music" by Joanne Martin. For guitar I use a variety of different classical method and etude books. In addition, I will introduce different genres according to what each student wants to learn, for example, rock, pop, worship, etc. Read More

I have a deep love for teaching and performing music. While in high school I taught students, played in several performing groups, and toured Europe with a youth orchestra composed of students from all over the United States.

I started my own studio at the age of 23. I found this to be one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. In 2000, I entered the Music Education program at The University of Memphis.

After 20 years of teaching, I still have a strong desire to share my knowledge and love of music with others. Read More
