My teaching style is very analytical yet engaging! I try to establish a good relationship before pushing a student. At that point I will ask the student to play to the best of his/her ability. I teach in a style that helps children isolate problem areas, so that they can practice specific excerpts they are struggling with. I also do a lot of ear training and music theory to ensure that students are obtaining well-rounded musical skills. Read More

I incorporate solo repertoire, ensemble playing, and even student compositions when appropriate. Suzuki and Hans Viola Method: For beginners, I often start with the Suzuki method, which emphasizes ear training and gradual progression.

Scale Mastery: Scales are essential for developing technique and understanding music theory. I place a strong emphasis on scale practice and offer my nine-book series on Violin Scales to help students master this vital aspect of playing. Read More
