Instruments: Violin

That is, the freedom that comes from having a balanced stance and fluent, relaxed motions while playing the violin. I do not just teach to teach nor do I simply encourage students to learn the violin because they should.

Learning is ultimately only useful and fulfilling when it can be passed on to others. Read More

What drives my passion for teaching is the collaborative atmosphere and those "a-ha!" moments when a lightbulb goes off. Learning is all about the act of discovery, and I facilitate students in finding their natural love of music. I challenge students to approach problems from all angles to help them understand music on a deeper level. Recognizing and rewarding every small improvement helps the student gain confidence, which in the long run makes for better musicianship. Read More
