Instruments: Violin, Viola

For young students, I use a Suzuki Method hybrid, meaning I incorporate additional note-reading and music theory elements while using the Suzuki Violin books and Suzuki's core values of imitation and ear training. I also supplement with many pieces outside of the Suzuki Method, including folk, blues, fiddle, and other styles. As students progress I include traditional etudes, technique studies and scales. My ultimate goal is to give my students all the tools they need to play and learn pieces on their own, and to that end I ensure they fully comprehend and master each step of learning before introducing new concepts.

I taught my students how to read music and how to play instruments. By the end of the school year, the students who were from 9-14 years old performed our own concert at California State University, East Bay. On my free time, I have also recorded music covers on my own, and jam with friends. Playing music is a great way to relax, and have fun! My goal is to share this skill and excitement to you!

Music is one of the things I am very passionate in. Sharing my knowledge on music and on my instruments is one of my primary goals as I believe music is a universal language and can be healing and inspiring. I have been playing in the California State University of Fresno's Symphony Orchestra as a 1st Violin since 2014. I am currently pursing my Masters in Violin Performance and Education. Getting to perform in many places and work with other musicians have been great experiences in my life as a musician. Read More

Depending on the student, we may begin with a book, of which I have several different favorites to work with. I have also writtien out my own music books that I can edit on my computer and update for each student. beyond using a book, we will also learn scales, chords, rhythm, and music theory. I create a lot of my own exercises for my students and that seems to really keep them interested, instead of reading from the same conventional book every lesson. Read More
