I am in my last semester at Brigham Young University where I will graduate with a Bachelor's in Viola Performance. I have had the opportunity to travel all over the world with music, performing in festivals in Belgium, Luxembourg, Canada, and more. Read More

I enjoy teaching because I have a love for music. It's my hope that this love and motivation to play well will be passed on to my students. It's so rewarding to me to see my students learning and growing in their musical abilities. I offer plenty of praise and encouragement. I like to see parents enjoying their children's progress as they master their chosen instrument. It's worth the time and effort to develop these skills. Read More

Much of my approach to teaching is determined by the individual student. I want my students to be the best musicians they can be, and that does require a certain amount of pressure. To the extent that I can for each, I push my students to progress quickly. It can get boring to practice the same piece over and over without variation, so practicing is required. My goal is to let students find their own potential and their own motivation to learn. Read More

I've had no official teaching positions yet, but I have had the opportunity to teach music in more casual contexts. Being the principal violist of the Lyceum Philharmonic for a year, I was tasked to conduct sectionals, and help the viola section become more solid.

Every week in college, I attend a viola masterclass with my colleagues, and we all give each other suggestions. Read More

In addition, I will write out some exercises and guiding information and instructions to assist them in their practice and approach to style and technique. Read More
