Instruments: Violin Viola
Guiding students towards a profound love for the violin and viola is at the core of my teaching philosophy. I firmly believe that instilling a sense of discipline and regularity in practice lays the foundation for success, especially for younger students. My approach harmoniously blends classical and contemporary music to engage and motivate learners. After all, if students aren't reveling in their lessons, my mission remains incomplete. In addition to honing their instrumental skills, I encourage my students to participate in competitions and recitals, fostering a sense of accomplishment and motivation. Read More

I have a lot of experience with curriculum development. My favorite books to teach from include Accent on Achievement, Alfred's Piano Book series and Essential Elements. However I can teach without a book on any instruments and compose assignments as I have done in the past. Even if I am teaching using a book, I usually do a lot of ear training and music theory based assignments that are not found in these books. Read More
Instruments: Violin
I'm an ardent and compassionate instructor who enjoys sharing the gift of music with children and adults. Music enriches the communities in which we live and expands our capacity to connect with humanity. I studied privately with Philip J. Teibel of the Buffalo Philharmonic from childhood through High School. I toured the Southeast US with the Oberlin College Choir and Orchestra in college. Since graduation, I've had the opportunity to perform with numerous ensembles including: Soulful Symphony and the Baltimore Symphony at Meyerhoff Symphony Hall and Strathmore Music Center in North Bethesda.

Instruments: Violin Viola Fiddle Music
My teaching philosophy revolves around nurturing musical independence among my students. It is my goal that they can confidently approach a piece, making informed decisions about both technical and musical aspects. To facilitate this, I employ creative mnemonic techniques, transforming complex concepts into catchy and memorable phrases. By integrating multiple schools of music and violin playing, including Russian, French, and American traditions, I provide students with a holistic foundation. My approach blends technical exercises inherited from pedagogues like Ivan Galamian with interpretive insights gained from world-class musicians. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
I use traditional method for the students who like to pursue classical music and I teach modern music for those who are not so interested in classical music. Even though I use Suzuki method for violin, I emphasize sight reading and theory. For Suzuki students, I encourage them to memorize whole book and perform before move onto next level. For the young students and beginners, I strongly recommend parents observe the lessons so that they can support and help students to practice. Read More

To make the learning experience fun and engaging. I first introduce concepts; then connect to well known songs and music that allow you to understand and appreciate the vital concepts and themes being illustrated. Together we set realistic goals, learn from where we may have missed the mark, and celebrate our achievements. This allows me to tailor your lesson so that you may gain the absolute most at of each and everyone. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola
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.
