Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a student's desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

My love for teaching began as a peer tutor in college. I tutored students in piano, guitar, bass ear training, and music theory. I began to love teaching when I noticed the change and progress it creates within people. While in college, I taught at a musical theatre camp as a music teacher. I taught music theory, ear training, and vocal music. Right after I graduated college I was accepted into the music education program at Teachers College Columbia University where I received my masters degree in music education along with certification in New York state to teach Pre-K through 12.

I have been teaching music lessons since I was a freshman in college, pursuing my violin performance degree. It has been over 7 years and my passion for teaching students of all different ages and backgrounds continues to grow. Over the years, I've taught over 40 different students; some were my own private students, and some I taught at institutions around New York City. Seeing students fall in love with playing the violin and do their best to improve warms my heart and the feeling never grows old. Read More

In 2010, I founded the Hidden Treasure Project© dedicated to diversifying the established repertoire by the inclusion of lesser-known music. As a specialist of the music of the Caucasus, I not only performed but also lectured at the Wayne State University, Columbia University, Arizona State University, and the University of Alberta. The Hidden Treasure© CD, launched in 2017, features the unknown gems of Armenian composers. It was labeled a “love letter to Armenia” by the CBC radio and was included in the “Best Albums of 2018” by violinist.com blog. Read More

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Not at all! I was motivated to learn violin after my older sister started lessons as a child, but beyond that none of my parents, grandparents, or extended family played music. I firmly believe music is not hereditary, but it can help motivate students to learn if someone close to them plays music. Long after my sister stopped playing violin, I continued on to become a professional.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I never wanted to learn the viola, but one semester in college, I was assigned to play the viola part in a Piano Quintet. I had to learn Alto Clef, and adjust to the bigger size of the instrument. But I am glad that I did because it helped me be a better violinist, and I loved the deeper, darker register of the viola!
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 a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Violin Performance. As a young man, I chose this degree because I couldn't imagine myself in any other field. Through studying music, I found myself. I wouldn't be the man I am today otherwise.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I first heard Ralph Vaughan Williams "Lark Ascending" on the radio while driving home from High School. I had to pull over to wipe the tears from my eyes. Ever since, the piece has represented everything I love about music. I would feel honored to perform it and share its tenderness with an audience.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
This can vary for each child, but here are some signs to look for:
1) If they ask to start lessons, they are ready.
2) If they can read and write, they are ready.
3) If they enjoy singing and dancing, they are ready.
Any child can learn a musical instrument!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I always start with my warm-up scale routine. I may vary it slightly, but I find starting with scales and exercises helps my body open up to playing and puts me in a good headspace. The consistency and familiarity are comforting for me and help me feel confident to practice harder things afterward. Then I move to my pieces: I like to start with something easier, but if I have less time I try to prioritize whatever is most important or will take the most time to learn.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Form a regular practice routine. This can mean many different things: some musicians find it helpful to practice at the same time of day, or practice things in the same order. It is important to always tune your instrument beforehand. And most of all, make sure you enjoy what you do! Even if it is challenging and often tedious, there is a joy in learning the craft of music. Find it in the repetitions, the metronome, the learning process.
