Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Fiddle Music Keyboard

For beginning strings students (even young children) to advanced students, I use the Suzuki method along with the accompanying sight reading book, I Can Read Music. Advanced students who have reached Suzuki book 6 and beyond are invited to seek out other repertoire as a supplement to their Suzuki studies. Students who are involved in an orchestra are also invited to bring excerpts of their music to their lessons so that I can help them to feel confident and prepared at playing tests and auditions.

The understanding of the relationship of music with another arts and history is as important to me as the technique itself. Read More

I still try to get my claws in their head to perform with the band however.... Any instrument you take on is like an exercise routine. You need to treat it as such, realize that discipline and repetition is the only way you'll achieve success.
