I began teaching private lessons to young children when I was 15 under the direction of my parents, who are both violinists and public school teachers. In college, I began teaching both children and adults full time, and since graduating I have continued teaching as my full-time job. While I am classically trained, I love rock, pop, and fiddle tunes too, and I encourage my students to try out multiple genres and to find what motivates them. Read More

In the beginning, we will be building the foundation of our collaboration. For the novice student, a great deal of our time will be establishing a vocabulary. As the foundation solidifies, we will build upon it and add to it, piece by piece. I will provide every student all of the musical tools I have available at my disposal and encourage them to take advantage. Our lessons are part-lecture and part-practice. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Alfred's beginner method. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire in line with the students interests, encouraging a love of music of a multitude of different styles and genres. Once they advance past a certain level i encourage learning to compose and arrange music as well as other skills that will prepare them for music at the collegiate level. Read More

For beginning students whose primary goal is membership in a school performance ensemble, I will usually choose a beginning band method that give them a good foundation in fundamental playing techniques. As they gain basic skills at this level, I expand the content of lessons to include easy solo repertoire. For older and adult beginningstudents, I usually use instrumental methods more suited for older learners. In addition, I incorporate easy solo literature for public performance. Read More
