I attended Highland High School, was concert master my freshman year in the Sinfonia (second highest orchestra at the school) and was in the Symphonic Strings/Orchestra (the top orchestra) for my remaining three years, and was concert master by my senior year. I performed in solo competitions regularly, as well as forming my own quartets, duos, and trios of various styles (from bluegrass, to contemporary, to classical). By the time I was 17 I decided I wanted to try teaching, and realized swiftly that I loved it as much as performing. Read More

I always like to hear if there is a certain piece that the student would like to play and will try to incorporate this into our plan. Read More

There is nothing more exciting in teaching than seeing students progress and be proud of what they have done. Read More

For beginning piano students, I tend to use the Alfred method books 1-3, then graduate to Hanon "the virtuoso pianist" I stress the "fundamentals" while adding solo repertory for enjoyment and solo playing. Simple piano pieces keep the lessons fun for beginners, while classical works are encouraged for intermediate and advanced students. For violin and viola, one of my choices is "All for Strings". I do add Mueller-Rusch books after the first year, and some solo pieces from the Suzuki methods. Read More
