Instruments: Violin Viola
My passion for teaching has been a big part of my career. I have been teaching violin since 2011- providing individual and group instrumental lessons in music schools and serving as an adjunct faculty (Artist-in-Residence position) of performance studies (solo and chamber) at Boyer College of Music and Dance, Temple University. These have provided me considerable experience teaching one on one and classroom settings discovering and enhancing their innate knowledge through an individual approach to each student. Read More

Besides teaching privately, I am also the adjunct cello teacher for The Pennington School. My responsibilities also include running sectionals, orchestra rehearsals as well as performing for various functions and with the students in their concerts. This has given me the opportunity to work with an ensemble, which is something I did really enjoy while working in the public schools. With over 20 years of teaching experience, I have worked with students from the beginning level through advanced. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
I received my Bachelor's in Performance from Eastman School of Music. Shortly thereafter I joined the Boise Philharmonic Orchestra. In Boise, I taught privately as well as at Boise State University. In addition to instrumental lessons, I taught classes in music theory, aural skills, and chamber music. Recently, I performed with the Symphony No. One chamber orchestra in Baltimore, premiering new works written for the ensemble. Throughout my career I have had the opportunity to perform across the United States and in Europe. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Electric Violin
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.

Instruments: Piano Violin
I am a passionate and fun piano teacher. I want you to learn the music you love because I am confident you will be happy and stay motivated. Whether it's to start, brush up, get ready for performances, etc I will be there for you. I started teaching at an after school program for underprivellaged children when I first started out, and it amazed me how music could effect their lives. 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.
