About Me:
Through 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.

The violin's strings may be sounded by drawing the hair of the bow across them (arco) or by plucking them (pizzicato). The left hand regulates the sounding length of the string by stopping it against the fingerboard with the fingertips, producing different pitches.
