For young students, I start them in beginner books while singing fun songs that motivate them. For older students I pick method books more specific to their age, learning style, and progress while still focusing on key points of interest for the student. After any student gets through some of the basic method books, I switch to Berklee College of Music method books. Read More

Instruments: Violin, Banjo, Fiddle

My methos are geared towards the specific student and what he/she wants to learn. For students who specifically want to learn fiddle or banjo, I would mostly focus on learning by ear as I believe that conveys the style in the most authentic form. For classical students, we can work from the suzuki method books, but without strictly adhering to the teaching method. I believe that a combination of music reading and learning by ear will create the most musical and practical aproach to learning an instrument. Read More

My teaching style works with many different personalities and ages. What I found is that it works best with parents and students who are committed and disciplined in their violin practice at home.

I enjoy getting to know each student's learning style and encouraging them to achieve excellence. Read More

I began teaching in high school, but this past year I began teaching at the Joy of Music School in Knoxville! Read More
