I have a focused yet comfortable approach to teaching. One of my greatest thrills is watching my students succeed in either conquering a new technique or simply feeling the joy of finishing a piece. I take into consideration who my student is, what they are going through and watch them grow over time into confident musicians, performers and individuals. I give each student the experience to learn to play with other musicians. Read More

I have been teaching privately and in group classes for the past 6 years. This past summer, I taught a chamber orchestra of kids ages 6-12 in Narni, Italy. It was a truly rewarding experience. Most of my experience is with teaching private lessons. I am open to teaching all ages and levels. For violin, I teach mostly beginners and intermediate students, but can teach all levels for viola. I encourage my students to play recitals so that they can be proud of their accomplishments! Read More

The best learning happens when it is cooperative and collaborative in nature, letting students learn from each other and become more actively engaged in their learning. I take into account my students interests and learning styles as I teach, as well as provide students with multiple means of demonstrating their learning. As a teacher, my goal is to be a facilitator of learning and a mediator of discourse rather than simply telling students what I want them to know. Read More
