Instruments: Violin Electric Violin Fiddle Music
I am a professional violinist who has been gifted in playing since I was 4 years old. Although I progressed quickly in the Suzuki Method and attended the advanced orchestra at Orange County High School of the Arts, at a young age I knew that there was more for me than the standard violinist and it has led me to perform worldwide with bands and performers of all kinds. I have played on all kinds of stages and for many events and see that my desires to play for more than just orchestra is being fulfilled now! Read More

When receiving a student I first like to get to know the student by friending them. Asking question as to what their likes are and just getting to know them. For the beginner we start of with a Method book that fits their age and personaity and go from there. For the student that already has had past music experience I like to hear them play at first and see at what level they are to be able to place them on the correct method. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
Each student is different. At first I try to see what's their passion, how much farther they want to learn, what style would they prefer, and more things about their preferences. For the beginners it's very important to learn step by step. But at the same time I always find out a unique way to entertain by performing a peace for them, and/or play along with them or play an accompaniment for them. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
My teaching experience started in high school when my private teacher started teaching me how to teach. I then accepted students on a continual basis, usually working two jobs. I realized at a later point in my life that I would like to make teaching my profession and started getting more serious about how I would proceed with teaching music. I have had students for over 25 years and without a doubt, parental involvement and practice are the two main factors for success of young students, along with a good teacher. Read More

I started giving Music lessons 20 years ago. I began giving private lessons and group lessons part time in the afternoons after I finish school in the mornings. Young students come to me asking me for lessons after a Gig or performance. I found very interesting and exiting to see the progress of the students with my own personal methods. We follow a process with disciple but we also have fun and we go to the direction that the student feels more attracted. Read More
Instruments: Violin
Celebrating 20 years of teaching violin, I’m excited to open my studio to the Musika community. I have extensive experience in the traditions of Joseph Joachim, Jascha Brodsky, Ivan Galamian, and Dorothy DeLay. I graduated from the University of Southern California with a Bachelor of Music degree in Violin Performance studying under renowned violinist Alice Schoenfeld. My studies at USC focused heavily on solo, chamber, and orchestral work -- my performances included live radio, solo engagements, and appearances with leading orchestras. Read More

I have previously taught at the Saturday Conservatory of Music in San Gabriel, Suzanne Middle School in Walnut, IvyCrest Montessori in Fullerton, and Music & Arts in San Dimas and Mission Viejo. I have also held masterclasses in percussion and drums throughout Orange and Los Angeles County. I enjoy teaching privately because I know an individual student will be able to better improve themselves when applying their growing skills in their respective ensemble. Read More

When will I start to see results?
Every student learns at a different pace, and violin is a particularly difficult instrument to begin. You should see results after the very first lesson because your child will learn to hold the instrument, learn the string names, and the different parts of the violin. Ideally there will be progress after every single lesson, but in order to instill the teacher's points, students must be practicing throughout the week.
Even 15 minutes a day of reviewing your previous lesson is better than no practice at all.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Set goals for each practice session. If you know what you want to accomplish during your practice time, you are much more likely to be efficient.
Don't attempt to play through pieces without first working on the smaller details. You should think about different points each time you practice a passage. First think about your intonation and left hand, then move your focus to your bowing and right hand, then make decisions on dynamics and musicality. If you break down the small details, you will be able to put the bigger picture together more efficiently.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing for beginners to master on the violin is the coordination it takes to make a sound with your bow in your right hand while using your left hand to place different notes on the fingerboard. Holding the violin feels unnatural to a lot of people at first which causes bad habits to form. As an instructor I make sure to curb those bad habits to make playing the violin feel as natural as possible. Once students understand the relationship of their right and left arms in regards to making a sound on the violin, the skill becomes easier and easier.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Ideally my students are proficient in their alphabet and have an attention span of at least 15 minutes.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My second violin teacher inspired me greatly to go into music. She was a professional working violinist (like I am now), and I always thought it was so exciting that I got to learn from a real violinist. My teacher was in different bands, played in churches, and performed at all different types of events. Because I saw how much she was working and how interesting her life was, I was able to see what a successful music career looked like. She also inspired me to think about teaching other people. When you are so focused on your music career, sometimes you overlook the opportunities you have to spread your knowledge to others. Because she was such an amazing musician and teacher, I was able to follow in her footsteps of being an instructor and working violinist.
