I was a part of my Symphony Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra, and Ensembles all four years I attended college. When I was younger, I was a part of a traveling music group varying ages 7-18. Our groups name was Vivaldi Strings and we were fortunate enough to play around the midwest area, as well as travel on tour to places such as Italy, Puerto Rico, China, San Fransisco, New York, and Alaska!

For beginning students, I typically start with Suzuki Book 1. A strong foundation is key to playing the violin/viola. I do teach the Suzuki method, but I understand that method of teaching does not work for all students--one size does not fit all.

I believe a good musical day is enjoyed through a well-balanced musical diet! I love to keep the fundamentals in mind with scales and etudes fit for the student's skill level, and leverage those through a performance piece of choice, be it mine or yours (with blessings). If we are working towards a specific piece for a recital or a judge, I will tailor assignments to the piece. I am proficient with music notation software, so customized sheets are absolutely a possibility. Read More
