My philosophy in teaching is: "Everyone learns in a different way". I like to analyze and help the student to find the simplest and easiest way to approach a piece or music in general. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Read More

I have known since a very young age that music would always be the biggest part of my life.

Performing has always been a love of mine, but in the past few years I have found that my true passion lies in teaching. In 2013, I graduated from DePaul University wtih a Bachelor of Music degree in Violin Performance. Read More

My teaching experience has had alot of learning experiences for myself as well. Every student is different. You tend to learn things about other students playing that in some ways helps your own. Ive always emphasized listening to as many styles of music as possible. The more youre comfortable with as a listener, the easier it usually is to learn. The idea is to have a vast musical vocabulary so as not to limit yourself when it comes time to look for work either as a performer, a teacher, or a session player. Read More

Over the last few years and while feeling that some areas had been completed and other new ones were opening up ahead, I concentrated with much love, patience, persistence, and research in the writing of educational music books. My goal was to present my own views on music education since I discovered areas that lacked certain kinds of educational material.

Beginning students will start out with technique practices, while introducing solo literature when appropriate. Technique studies can always be improved and studied, no matter a student's age or proficiency.

No matter the age or ability level, I help students understand that each lesson and new idea or piece we learn adds to their experience, and experiences are building blocks for our futures. Read More
