I have been insfluenced and surrounded with music since childhood. I have experience in multiple aspects of music from performance to teaching and just about everything in between. I love working with students to achieve their goals. The most rewarding feeling for me is when my student feels they've accomplished a technique or method on their respective instrument. I strive to keep lessons joyous yet keep the student motivated to practice at home. I travel to students' home and will soon have my own studio to give the student the option to travel to me. 

I started to learn the violin when I was four, so I’ve spent 19 years together with the violin. I’ve experienced the whole process, becoming a mature player from a beginner. During that time, I attended various orchestras, competed with other players at various competitions, and received many awards. As a result,  I have explored, in detail the difficulties a student can encounter at different growing stages, and I have the keys to solve them. Now, with the education that I received from California State University, Sacramento, my teaching ability has been further strengthened dramatically.  

I believe in focusing individually on every student, to help them achieve their own success. Discipline and self motivation important. I focus on building a solid technical foundation through various technical studies and etudes. I also encourage students to attend concerts, develop basic theory, and to seek/participate in other physical activities such as dance, sports, which would help with developing coordination and strength. Materials:Students are expected to bring all necessary materials to lessons, including their instrument, shoulder rest, rosin, cleaning cloth, music, a notebook, and a pencil.Violins can be rented and necessary materials can be purchased locally at:Watermelon Music Store207 E StDavis, CA(530) 758-4010Students are encouraged to participate in youth orchestra, chamber music, and summer music programs and festivals. The student is expected to consult with the teacher regarding potential programs to ensure that the best decisions are made for the student's education.

I've been teaching children and adults of all ages for over a decade. I'm extremely passionate about teaching and music and it shows in my teaching. I work very closely with my students and their families to help each student reach their goals in their own unique ways. This is not cookie cutter teaching!
