I began teaching lessons in college when I was in a piano pedagogy class. At that time, I also began teaching private band and string instruments.

I also taught choir students, and I taught private piano and string students on the side. Read More

Instruments: Violin

I am a passionate and dedicated performer, teacher, and music history scholar. From the moment I picked up the violin 20 years ago, I discovered my love for music, and it is this love that led me to obtain a BM, MM, and Professional Performance Certificate in violin. My interest in the historical traditions of classical music also led me to obtain a second master's degree in Music History, where I researched and wrote about the under-represented French composer and violinist Joseph Bologne, le Chevalier de Saint-Georges.

For my methods, I use a variety of books and create a diet of exercises and pieces that will build on fundamentals - from open strings, to scales and etudes like Schradieck, Kreutzer to pieces from the Suzuki Method as well as other options such as Nardini Concerto in b minor or Haydn Concerto in G Major. The method I use is scaffolding from the very small building blocks of technique and lead up to a mastery of each piece assigned. Read More

I normally use the Standard of Excellence method books for most of my students; however, I am open minded to adjusting to each individual student's musical needs, whether it be Jazz, Classical, or whatever style music the student is focusing on. For Drummers, I prefer the Haskell Harr Method, or the Buddy Rich Method Book, as well as the Breeze Easy Method Book. For piano instruction, I prefer the Faber Piano Method Books, as they are tailored to the students' individual needs. Read More
