I'm a passionate & seasoned musician and I have been involved in music since my childhood. I was influenced to music by my mother who was an opera singer and a piano player.

I started teaching music 15 years ago. This experience has brought tremendous personal satisfaction to me having been able to see students from all ages and walks of life starting from scratch and becoming experienced musicians and even playing & recording professionally.

I love teaching and seeing the progress with each of my students, so approaching each student in a unique way and pace is essential to an effective learning process. Evaluating each student is a way of encouraging each student by letting them see how far they've come, and how far they could go based on their current knowledge. Teaching is a passion, and passing my skills on to another person is a pleasure.

The more advanced the student is, the more they will know exactly what they want to learn and how they want to learn. Read More

My first experience teaching was during the summer when I began instructing swim lessons for the town pool. I quicly began to seek out a way to teach music before I was in college and built a small studio of beginner cellists in my home town. I also began performing in both classical and other styles during this time, something I continue to do today. The reason I continued to understand more about teaching was because I loved to give back what I had learned from the great people in my life. Read More
