My first experience teaching was during the summer when I began instructing swim lessons for the town pool. I quicly began to seek out a way to teach music before I was in college and built a small studio of beginner cellists in my home town. I also began performing in both classical and other styles during this time, something I continue to do today. The reason I continued to understand more about teaching was because I loved to give back what I had learned from the great people in my life. Read More

My initial lessons for all ages and levels begin with discussing expectations, motivations, and past experiences with music. Lessons should feel engaging fun, and productive. New players will learn fun ways to read music, feet positions, and hand exercises. Once a foundation is established, we'll learn more advanced skills and solo material. Beginners and intermediate players will always encounter scales and etudes as well as solo material just challenging enough to learn something new and fun enough they'll practice until they rock it.

I have been teaching for two years, and I truly enjoy it.  I was fortunate enough to coach middle school violinists last summer, and I was able to help them individually, as well as help them perform together.  Teaching, for me, is a way of shaping the next generation of musicians or music enthusiasts.  I can teach students of any ability level, and it is always a joy to work with and get to know a new student.
