Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
As a soloist and chamber musician, I am regularly playing concerts around the world, in countries like Germany, France, Luxembourg, Spain, Austria, Czech Republic, Russia, Lithuania and of course throughout the US. Being able to share my love for music as well as my knowledge and experience through teaching others means a lot to me and I am very passionate about it. I have two Master of Music Degrees in Violin performance - from The Moscow Conservatory in Russia and from The Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with violin method book, Essential Elements for Strings to learn the good basics and reading the notes and where to find those notes they just learned on the fingerboard. I also introduce the Suzuki Violin School volume 1 to learn the major songs written for the violin and simply to play more songs than the scales and exercises. For students who are more advanced, I help them their school orchestra music and make sure they are doing very well on top of the class in addition to continuing with the private lesson music.

I have a customized approach to instruction that keeps pace with the student's skill level and ability. Goal setting is an important activity that I use to sustain interest and encouragement. For example, we may decide together that we will attempt to master a particular inspiring piece of music by a specific date. Naturally, the date will be reset depending upon the student's progress. I like to incorporate contemporary music into the lesson so that my students can see that the violin can be used widely in various musical genre. Read More

I am a teacher who loves to share the joy of music with others. I graduated from Temple University in 2006 with a Master of Music degree in String Pedagogy and from Shenandoah University in 2004 with a Bachelor of Music degree in Violin Performance. I am a former member of the Susquehanna Symphony Orchestra and have performed for the Stewartstown Summer Theater pit orchestra. I have toured Europe with various performing groups. Read More
Instruments: Violin Music Keyboard
The most rewarding thing about teaching for me is to see my students develop their own passion for music. In order for that to happen, it is crucial that each student moves and progresses at his or her own pace. Doing so would then allow realistic goal-setting, allowing both me and the students to acknowledge their accomplishments, thereby motivating them to learn more. I always try my best to discover what inspires and motivates my students, so that I can successfully tailor my instruction towards that. Read More
Instruments: Violin
I have had lots of experiences working with young musicians. I assisted my former violin teacher who teaches at Xinghai Conservatory of Music in Guangzhou supervising some of his students’ practice. I helped my students to prepare for their exams, auditions, performances and competitions and a lot of them achieved satisfying outcomes. I also coached sectionals of a high school orchestra for 2 years and they were awarded 1st prize winner for the first time at the city’s interschool music contest during the second year. Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
The many teachers that I have had in high school were the main reasons why I decided to go in to music. My high school orchestra teacher is a professional bass player and he continues to inspire me as I grow older. I was also a member of various youth orchestras, all of which had very inspirational teachers. I hope to inspire my students to go in to music or at least continue their music while they pursue other things.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose my primary instruments, the viola, because of my father. He told me that as a baby, I would bob up and down whenever the violas had a solo in any classical music piece that we would listen to together, so he knew that the instrument was meant for me. Additionally, the viola is an instrument that gets enough time in the spotlight, but it primarily serves as the supporting role in an ensemble. I feel that the viola is perfect for me because my personality is extroverted enough to enjoy being in attention part of the time, but I excel the most when I support my colleagues and friends.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have been a member of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, which is the premier training orchestra in the Midwest. It is associated with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, so we got to perform at Symphony Center and our coaches were members of the Chicago Symphony. Additionally, I was also a member of the Baltic Sea Philharmonic, which is comprised of members who were selected from a pool of musicians that are from one of the 10 countries that border that Baltic Sea.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have both a Bachelors degree in Music and a Masters degree in Music Performance. I chose these degrees because I have always felt that I shined the most in music and that I couldn't picture myself in a job that didn't require me to perform, teach, or discuss music on a daily basis. I pride myself in receiving my masters degree from Northwestern University because that is where I believe that I was pushed to my limits as a musician. I have learned to perform and teach at very high level because of the degrees I have attained.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice passages that are tricky slowly at first and then slowly pick up the tempo (preferably using your metronome!). Taking the time to play slowly first helps wonders and helps technique.
