I have a dynamic and flexible teaching style and personality. It’s important for me to assess what kind of learner and individual each of my students is, and that informs how I form my lessons. I prefer to set goals for my students based on what they would like to achieve, and what inspires them to want to continue their musical studies. My broad base of knowledge can offer a complete understanding of the art and science of music. Read More

Instruments: Piano
I listen to the student's music selections. While he/she plays, I observe him/her how this student is adapting to the instrument. After his/her performance, I offer constructive criticism pointing out steps to adapt himself/herself to the instrument. I also encourage and push for attentive listening for tone quality. This is very important no matter the level of students. The way to listen for tone quality is not only seating straight and at the center of the keyboard, but also understand when and how to use the bony part of the fingers(closer to nails) versus the fleshy part of fingers on the opposite side of nails.

Instruments: Violin Viola
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Certainly! I started out playing the violin as a child, just like many students do. It's a wonderful instrument that I enjoyed playing for many years. However, as I continued to explore the world of classical music, I became more and more fascinated by the rich and warm tones of the viola. I was drawn to its unique sound and the unique role it plays in orchestras and chamber music ensembles.
So, I decided to give the viola a try, and I instantly fell in love with it. The transition from violin to viola was a natural one for me because many of the skills and techniques I had developed on the violin were transferable to the viola. It allowed me to explore a different range and timbre of music, and I found it to be a rewarding and fulfilling experience.
I believe that having experience with both the violin and the viola allows me to provide a more comprehensive and well-rounded education to my students. It also allows me to better understand and address the unique challenges and opportunities that each instrument presents. So, while I started with the violin, my journey into playing the viola was a decision driven by my passion for music and my desire to share that passion with others, including your child.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes, music definitely runs in my family. I come from a rich musical background, and both of my parents have played significant roles in shaping my musical journey.
My mother was a classical music teacher, and her passion for teaching and music was truly inspirational. She introduced me to the world of classical music at a young age, fostering my love for the violin and viola. Her dedication to her students and her deep understanding of classical music greatly influenced my own teaching style.
On the other hand, my father was a conductor and a college professor of piano. His expertise in orchestral music and piano performance exposed me to a wide range of musical experiences. His guidance and insights into conducting techniques have been invaluable in my own musical development as well as in teaching my students.
As for my brother, he is a talented musician, but he leans more towards the jazz genre. He plays a different instrument and has explored the world of improvisation and jazz theory. While our musical paths have diverged somewhat, we still share a deep appreciation for music and often find common ground in our musical discussions.
So, in short, music is a fundamental part of our family heritage, and the love for classical music has been passed down through generations, thanks to the influence of my parents and the musical discussions and experiences shared with my brother.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I'm happy to share my journey with you and your child. Becoming a professional musician, especially in the classical field, is often a combination of gradual development and defining moments. For me, it was a bit of both.
I started playing the violin and viola at a young age, just like your child. Initially, it was a hobby and a source of joy. I loved the sound of the instruments and enjoyed practicing and performing. As I continued to study and grow as a musician, there were moments along the way that solidified my passion.
One of those defining moments was when I had the opportunity to perform with a professional orchestra as a young student. The experience of playing alongside seasoned musicians and making beautiful music together was incredibly inspiring. It showed me the possibilities of what I could achieve if I pursued a career in music.
Another important factor in my decision was the guidance and support of my parents, music teachers and mentors. They saw my potential and encouraged me to continue my studies, guiding me through the rigorous training required to become a professional musician.
So, while my love for music started early and grew gradually, it was these moments and the influence of my mother and father, and my mentors that helped me make the decision to pursue a career in classical music. It's a journey that requires dedication, passion, and continuous learning, and I'm excited to be a part of your child's musical education as they embark on their own unique path in the world of classical violin and viola.
