Instruments: Violin
I am a creative and focused violin instructor specializing in classical to contemporary orchestral music. I graduated from Drexel University in 2019 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. I have been playing the violin for almost 20 years, starting from my Kindergarten music lessons all the way to sitting as Concert Master for the Drexel University Symphony Orchestra. Between that, I've had the privilege of performing with the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra, the Gemini Youth Orchestra, New York All-County Orchestra, New York All-State Orchestra and New York Summer School of the Arts.

I always stress to my students that practice is important, however, it is also important how you practice. This is something that I take the time to instill in all my students. Along with how you practice, how much you practice is also important. One thing I always stress to my students is that it has to be something that you can fit into your schedule. With my adult students this is always more challenging, but I remind them not to be discouraged and to focus on keeping their passion for wanting to learn. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola
Each student is unique and I cater my teaching style to the specific needs of the student. The key is teaching students how to identify problems for themselves and how to practice to fix them. In addition I believe that learning music should be fun! This is the reason that I got into music and continue it to this day. Read More

During my middle through high school years as a performing arts student, I began teaching to the younger grades because I loved filling my time with music performance and education. I was honored to perform at various venues on Philadelphia's Avenue of the Arts, such as the Kimmel Center. I have performed with the Curtis Institute of Music, Temple University's orchestra, the All-City Philadelphia Orchestra, as well as multiple performances with the conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra.

Teaching violin is my greatest passion in life and I have dreamt of teaching since I was very young. I went to Mason Gross for both music education and also for violin performance. I teach strings in public school at East Greenwich and I play in many orchestras in the area. Recently, I have performed with the Ocean City Pops Orchestra and I served as section leader for the Classical Music Festival in Eisenstadt, Austria where we performed in the Haydnsaal and St Stephens Kirchedom in Vienna and these were huge opportunities!

I feel that nothing is more rewarding than seeing that my student has learned something and from that, develops a passion for music. I try to keep each student's progress at their own pace by setting and keeping realistic goals for my students at their lessons. I am very positive during lessons, because I feel that acknowledging any accomplishment helps keep the student interested and fuels a desire to continue to get better. Read More
Instruments: Violin Cello Viola
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
After cello, I began inheriting instruments. Violin was first, then viola, and most recently double bass. Though I am not yet proficient enough with double bass to teach it, I look forward to the day I am!
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I never questioned what I wanted to do. My music teacher in 4th grade handed me a cello, and I was in love. By 5th grade career day, I was dressing up in concert uniforms and carrying a cardboard cello.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love Romantic Era music, as well as tangos. The passion required to successfully play both types of music far outdo many other genres and eras.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
The Röntgen Cello Concerto No. 2 is an obscure but beautiful piece I discovered several years ago. It led to a great deal of research and a lasting relationship with the only cellist to ever record it.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I chose Music Education as a degree because of that middle school orchestra director that helped me through difficult times and showed me music can be a savior. I hope with my degree I have the opportunity to do the same.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session involves a “scale run”, or quick run through of scales. Second is an etude, either old or new, usually from Popper. A final piece of the puzzle is whatever piece I have been working on, or sometimes a piece I enjoy revisiting.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
A sense of dedication, as well as patience to move forward, even if it is slowly. The technical part of playing a cello is relatively straightforward. The passion for going beyond a technical level is the true challenge.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of my theatre accomplishments and orchestra works, as well as seeing my students grow. Some have successfully gone on to college career and succeeded in their goals.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
In middle school I had an orchestra director that was passionate about his students both inside rehearsal and out. His dedication to music and helping students find peace and happiness through music inspired me to one day do the same.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any student of any age can take lessons. A basic knowledge of the alphabet, numbers, and hand eye coordination are minimum.
When will I start to see results?
Results depend on the student. I am willing to move ahead as quickly as a student understands and can perform the concepts introduced to them. I highly encourage practicing outside the lesson, to create a routine that can help a student move forward in their skills.
