About Me:ShowI have been teaching for over ten years and am known for giving a personal approach to each student. We are all different and have different musical goals.

About Me:ShowThrough my many years of teaching, I have come to believe that learning a musical instrument is more than just a technical skill, rather a new language. The world of music opens the hearts and minds of individuals spanning all ages and backgrounds. My goal in teaching is to bring to others, the joy that music brings to me. I consider myself expert, although not limited to the Suzuki method and am open to teaching all styles and genres.

About Me:ShowTypical lesson structure: Technical exercises, repertoire, ear training and a fun piece (such as a fiddle tune or popular song).

About Me:ShowI make it my first priority to understand how each individual student most easily learns, while drawing on very specific and time-tested methods for teaching technique and repertoire. Most importantly, though, I believe that the most conducive environment for learning is one in which, above all, the student is never afraid to make mistakes, and, in fact, welcomes the inevitable hurdles and challenges in discovering the instrument as part of a process self-discovery and musicianship.
