I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music.

Instruments: Violin

I'm currently accepting students of all ability levels, so my methods will be vastly different from beginner to advanced. For beginners, we start at the very beginning, learn how to hold the instrument and bow. Surprisingly, this first step can ruin or really hinder a person's technique down the road if it needs to be corrected. I focus a large chunk from the start on the bow arm as my students have impeccable bow technique. Read More

I enjoy teaching dedicated students very much and it is extremely rewarding seeing them progress. To me, my most successful teaching has been with students who weren't necessarily the most talented, but who were the most enthusiastic about learning. I think with guitar methods, the pedagogy is not as linear as other instruments and there tends to be a jump in difficulty at about the two-year point. Once the jump is made, students then enter the intermediate level and beyond. Read More

A student will never practice if they're not having fun, and they won't have fun if they're being pushed harder than they want to be pushed. Therefore, when I start with a student, I always ask how much they want to improve and how quickly, how important music is to them, and how much time they're willing to invest daily. We continue on the student's pace, and find the most efficient and fun way to get the student's goals. Read More

Music is my life! I'm currently finishing up my Bachelors of Music in Vocal Performance at Portland State, and teaching music in the Portland community. I am also very fortunate to be an active performer. I've sung lead and supporting roles in many musicals and operas, and am thrilled to be a part of the internationally renowned Portland State Chamber Choir. In all of my experience I have found that there is nothing as exciting or rewarding as watching the growth of a student in music. Read More

As a teacher, I try to make music learning as fun and well-rounded as possible. Every student is unique, and I try my best to accommodate every individual’s needs. I encourage students to always ask questions, no matter how silly it might sound, and to trust me to help you achieve your goals. I encourage students to tell me their favorite songs and genre of music and use the knowledge to help keep them motivated, to remind them that learning is fun. Read More

It is always important to set goals in a given time, regardless of age. Typically this means a performance which the student can work towards. For beginners it is important to spark the interest in the beauty of music, which brings a natural motivation a student needs to work on his own. Basic sheet reading and developing rhythm is a must and will be focused on. It is also important to note, that these skills will be learnt by applying them to songs carefully chosen together with the student. Read More
