I began teaching during high school as a supervised intern observing and teaching both small groups of orchestra students and private lessons. Since then, I've gained independence and have taught students in a variety of settings, both individual and group, and to ages ranging from young beginner to adults.

As I said above, I have been teaching since I was in high school and began studying the Suzuki Method at the age of four.

My goal is to make the learning experience unique for each student. Read More
