Instruments: Guitar, Voice, Violin, Viola, Electric Violin, Fiddle

I find that my teaching style is focused on harboring curiosity of music for the beginner student. It brings me joy to see a student go above and beyond because they research more to what I offer them on the page to help enrich their playing. I ask students what they most would like to work on or accomplish and help them set realistic goals with skill building exercises to practice. Read More

My methods fall into 4 categories: 1) Essential Technique- Students will learn the basics from the Essential Elements books, Etude books such as Wolfahrt and Dont, and customized materials 2) Music Theory and History- Students will learn note reading, key signatures, scales and arpeggios, intervals, rhythm and music history through customized materials and games 3) Solo- Students will choose solos from the Suzuki violin/viola series, or another skill-appropriate solo 4) Ensemble- Once the student has basic familiarity with his or her instrument, I will find them an appropriate ensemble opportunity such as youth orchestra, All-County/All-State Orchestra, adult community orchestra or chamber music Read More

Instruments: Violin, Viola

I believe that every individual is different and possesses unique strengths and weaknesses. As such, I tailor my approach to meet each student's learning style and personality. I work with students to set clear goals based on their specific interests and needs. I love celebrating my students’ accomplishments and helping them find their voice. I find it very important to meet each student where they are, to turn weaknesses into strengths, and to use music learning as a vehicle to inform not only their skill set on the instrument but also their development as a person.

I have been teaching for years and I am so proud I had a chance to teach back in my country, in Finland and currently in the states. I do not have a specific method of teaching and sharing my knowledge m, as I think, as a teacher you find a new approach once you get a new student. Everyone is different. How they learn, have fun or feel comfortable can be different from one another. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Voice, Violin, Cello, Viola, Fiddle, Double Bass, Music, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

For violin, viola, cello and bass, I teach the Suzuki method. The Suzuki method is based strongly on memory and takes a systematic approach to introducing music of increasing difficulty. For classical guitar, I start off with the Frederick Noad system, "Solo Guitar Playing", and scales. As skill level increases, I assign more etudes and standard guitar repertoire. For acoustic guitar, I teach almost exclusively finger-picking. I teach the same high standard skills for acoustic guitar that I teach for classical, but concentrate on masterpieces of the repertoire. Read More
