I have been playing violin and viola for over fifteen years, and over the course of that time I have studied piano and theory as well.

I have been teaching for over three years and have greatly enjoyed sharing my passion with students. A consistent practice schedule and help from parents is essential to the success of any musician, especially young musicians, and I highly encourage this. Read More

I also teach from a holistic approach taking into account many different elements that affect vocal health / performance. Read More

Setting a goal at the first lesson is important to me. I provide recitals twice a year for both strings and piano. For piano I offer a grand piano sent back from Vienna, refurbished and beautiful in tone. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet

My teaching style is simple! I make having fun the most important part, especially for beginners because no one wants to do anything that isn't fun!
