Instruments: Piano Voice Violin
My teaching style is a balance between a music theory discipline mixed with what the student wants to learn of the instrument. I prefer and enjoy an environment that promotes expression of the student where we can learn from each other. I understand the uniqueness of each of my students and cater to their needs be it attention span, shyness, learning speeds,etc. Music is a discipline and a means for expression and that's what we will teach in my lessons.

Instruments: Piano Violin
I usually beginwith warm-ups, scales, music theory, then continue with reviewing past homework, focusing on posture, rhythm, technique, etc. Lastly, we will sightread and preview the next pieces to be assigned for homework. Pace is set mostly by the student and how much they practice, but I will always nudge the student to improve in musicianship and posture after every lesson, with patience and perseverance. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music. Therefore, it is important that each student progress at his or her own pace. It is essential to set a realistic course for my students at each lesson. Each lesson begins with a by review of the prior assignments and at that time I provide constructive ideas for improvement. I find it very important to encourage each student and acknowledge each challenge met. Read More
Instruments: Voice Violin Viola
Lessons are fun! My philosophy is that students should have music in their lives and benefit from the lessons they take now for years to come. Learning to play a musical instrument will help students with math skills, study habits, and develop a skill that will last for a lifetime. After 3 months students will understand the fundamentals of their string instrument or voice, know how to care for their instrument, warm up properly, be able to read and play/sing introductory passages. After 6 months the student will have learned basic music theory, how to read music, and have advanced through playing/singing multiple songs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
Every student is different, and learns at their own pace. With that being said, I find it important to devise lesson plans that are personal and cater to students individually. I try to always stay positive with young students but at the same time, push them to give their best effort on their instrument. I try to find out what inspires young students so that I can form lesson plans that addresses their aspirations. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Cello Double Bass Keyboard
For my beginning piano students, I like to start with Alfreds performance books and music theory to help assist the note and music reading. My cello students that are still in the beginning stages I like to have using the Suzuki books to help work towards more advanced music and skills. My voice students are all very different so I shape our lesson methods based on what style of singing theyre interested in, but we always begin working on proper breathing and learning solfege.

Instruments: Violin
My teaching is heavily influenced with my background and experience with the Suzuki method, particularly pertaining to listening, repetition, and immersion. Music is something to practice as if learning another language, as it is another form of expression! Although I use Suzuki books and repertoire in my lessons, I structure and customize lessons plans, tailoring to each individual student. I also like to have students pick something that they want to learn, whether it be a theme from "Lord of the Rings" or "Hoedown", in order to retain intrinsic motivation. Read More
Instruments: Violin Electric Violin Fiddle Music
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Within me, I always had the desire to perform for people, this has turned into the many shows and performances I do with the violin. It was not until I was older that I decided the most fulfilling career would be to teach violin as a profession, in my opinion.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Teaching anything else!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
classical and alternative; they both correspond into the playing that I write on my own.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
No it does not, this is why I feel the violin was a gift from a young age!
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
A piece that I write and master to perform in India for the women learning music and have the desire to play music there.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Music, I chose this degree to help me further every part of my music skill sets, teaching and performing.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Review of lesson plan from the week before, going over any missed work or misunderstandings of the lesson plan, working on current Suzuki song, learning a new bow or violin technique that plays a role into the current song work, etudes and scales, fun or free play, and working on anything the student or parent has concerns about.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Almost everything has technicalities that make it all difficult, but this makes every process extremely rewarding.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Suzuki, I believe it is the best training to receive appropriate ear training, sight reading, and skill set to succeed in violin.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Yes, many of my students receive awards for their playing and skill level through their schools and other orchestras. My private lessons are to correct imperfect technique, build musical ability and ear training so I do not provide awards through my own programs.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My ability to play on any stage with or without practice, being a successful violin teacher, but also knowing that I would not have any accomplishment without grace and the lessons taught to me by those around me who have taken time to teach me over the past 18 years.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I was four years old, there was something inside of me that wouldn't stop asking my parents to let me play the violin. They said no for a year and finally when I would not stop asking we got a violin and I haven't stopped playing since.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, my teacher was the best violinist I knew growing up and she always accepted me as a child with my quirks and questions, she inspired me to perfect my instrument and play classical songs that brought people to tears through her playing ability.
When will I start to see results?
This differs through every student and depends on the exact results you are looking for. Every student succeeds in new areas when I teach them and it is truly a blessing to see every kid go home knowing their instrument better and better each week.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
A one time trial lesson is the best way to incorporate a student into the atmosphere of music. If the student has even asked one time, the desire that they have to play music is a real desire and I highly encourage any student to as least try! No matter the skill level or age.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Rewards, to an extent, are an effective way to build up a child into being responsibly and efficient in their practicing. As a teacher, I always ensure my students thoroughly understand their lesson plans for the week and know that I am available over the phone for any questions they may have about practice.
