For the past two years I have worked alternately as a private violin teacher, and as a private music theory tutor for students in New York City and Philadelphia, my hometown. I have taught both children and adult students, and embrace the challenges that each age group presents. I recently completed my undergraduate training at the New School where I studied violin performance with an emphasis on Jazz and Contemporary Music. Read More

My teachers include Jason Noble (instrumental conducting), Paul Speiser (choral conducting), Kim McCord (childhood/special ed music pedagogy), Ethan Hein (electronic music pedagogy), and Christopher Bush (clarinet performance).

I hold multiple studio classes and recitals per year for my students to gain invaluable performance experience and foster our sense of community. While I tailor each students curriculum to their individual goals and needs, here are some facets of my teaching that I employ with every student: - A fun, positive learning environment. - A thoughtful progression of exercises and repertoire for a strong technical foundation. - Development of musicality through phrasing, listening and singing. - Ear training and note-reading literacy. - Consistent practice habits, including a weekly practice log for younger learners. - Performance experience and on-stage training.

I approach students with some humor and wit to open up their mind to me. I always try to make my students feel comfortable with me and bond with me which I think it is very important in teaching. I encourage to set realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Setting goals for every lesson will help them to feel achievement that would give them a motivation to be passionate with violin.

My next job was in the South Brunswick public school district where I taught elementary strings and band, as well as some general music classes. Upon leaving the public school system, I shifted my focus to teaching private individual lessons. Although I enjoyed working in the public schools, this was the best decision I ever made! I have found so much joy in being able to work with students one on one, to help them become the best musician they can be. Read More

There's something truly magical about sharing a beloved piece of music with an audience for the first time, and this is what excites me most about performing. Read More
