Instruments: Violin Viola
I'm a passionate, friendly, and motivated instructor who loves working with children and adults of all ages. I love to be able to share my love of music, both through performing and through teaching. I received my master's degree from Northwestern University and since then, I have moved to the Philadelphia area, where I teach through a variety of programs, including Musicopia, the Philadelphia Youth Orchestras, the Music School of Delaware, and the Darlington Arts Center.

Instruments: Violin Viola
I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. 2013, I graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelor of Music in Viola Performance and am currently a graduate student at Temple University. I have had many opportunities to perform as well as study all over the world. When I was 18, I traveled to China for further study at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. Read More
Instruments: Violin
My teaching style can best be described as flexible. I like to tailor every lesson to each individual student based on their needs and interests. For younger and newer students regardless of age, I like to focus primarily on fundamentals such as developing proper posture, becoming comfortable with the instrument, tuning and producing sound. For students who already have a good grasp of the fundamentals, we will have more of a discussion about their goals and interests, such as any upcoming auditions or performances. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
For the beginning student, I typically suggest a collection of specific studies from an array of sources, some designed simply for technique and others for the development of musical understanding. Naturally, these depend on the individual and their needs. I am most dedicated to facilitating the needs of each individual student and providing them the ability to express their musical ideas clearly and easily. For more advanced students, I will focus on honing technical proficiency and challenging them with new repertoire, preparing them for new musical opportunities, such as youth orchestras, chamber music, recitals, and competitions to further their growth.

Instruments: Piano Violin Electric Violin
My teaching style revolves around a student's interests, and my lessons are modified and personalized for each individual. Every student has a different style of their own, and I work hard to help them develope their style. Learning music should never feel like a chore; it should be a form of self expression. Rather than using only lesson books to teach, i also provide them a blank and personalized lesson journal, in which they learn the foundations of writing, reading and understanding sheet music and music theory.

Instruments: Violin Viola
My teaching experience dates back to my undergraduate where I would teach and mentor incoming freshman placed in our studio. During the summers I would teach locally and fill in for past mentors who were on tour. This allowed me the fortune of teaching both beginners and advanced students. I strongly recommend consistent practice as I firmly believe an hour a day far out performs 5-7 on one day. A students growth is mostly contributed to ones own passion and discipline however as long as the student is willing to learn, then I am willing to help nurture their devotion and maturity to allow them to become as good of a instrumentalist that they wish to become.

Instruments: Violin Cello Viola
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
After cello, I began inheriting instruments. Violin was first, then viola, and most recently double bass. Though I am not yet proficient enough with double bass to teach it, I look forward to the day I am!
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I never questioned what I wanted to do. My music teacher in 4th grade handed me a cello, and I was in love. By 5th grade career day, I was dressing up in concert uniforms and carrying a cardboard cello.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love Romantic Era music, as well as tangos. The passion required to successfully play both types of music far outdo many other genres and eras.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
The Röntgen Cello Concerto No. 2 is an obscure but beautiful piece I discovered several years ago. It led to a great deal of research and a lasting relationship with the only cellist to ever record it.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I chose Music Education as a degree because of that middle school orchestra director that helped me through difficult times and showed me music can be a savior. I hope with my degree I have the opportunity to do the same.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session involves a “scale run”, or quick run through of scales. Second is an etude, either old or new, usually from Popper. A final piece of the puzzle is whatever piece I have been working on, or sometimes a piece I enjoy revisiting.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
A sense of dedication, as well as patience to move forward, even if it is slowly. The technical part of playing a cello is relatively straightforward. The passion for going beyond a technical level is the true challenge.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of my theatre accomplishments and orchestra works, as well as seeing my students grow. Some have successfully gone on to college career and succeeded in their goals.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
In middle school I had an orchestra director that was passionate about his students both inside rehearsal and out. His dedication to music and helping students find peace and happiness through music inspired me to one day do the same.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any student of any age can take lessons. A basic knowledge of the alphabet, numbers, and hand eye coordination are minimum.
When will I start to see results?
Results depend on the student. I am willing to move ahead as quickly as a student understands and can perform the concepts introduced to them. I highly encourage practicing outside the lesson, to create a routine that can help a student move forward in their skills.
