Viola Lessons South

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Violin, Viola, Flute, Piccolo

For beginning students, I like to start from Essential elements, Suzuki 1, or Piano Adventures. Students will also likely have a theory workbook or worksheets that match the level of their current repertoire. Intermediate students, we will start using a program called smart music that plays the accompaniment for pieces that we are working on. This will really help develop a great internal sense of rhythm and help students recognize immediately when something needs correcting. Read More

I started playing violin at the age of nine through my elementary schools string program. In addition to performing with the Discovery Middle School and Timber Creek High School orchestras, I participated every year in the all-county and all-state orchestras and served as associate concertmaster of the Florida Symphony Youth Orchestra. I completed a double major in general music and engineering at Northwestern University in Chicago. I have professional performance experience playing violin in orchestras, as a pit musician for musical theater and for freelance gigs such as weddings. Read More

I am a thoughtful and encouraging instructor who enjoys working with students to explore their interests and deepen their understanding of and technical facility with music. I have a doctorate in Music Theory & Composition with a concentration in Composition from Florida State University, where I taught music theory and aural skills courses as instructor of record for three years.

Instruments: Violin, Viola

I enjoy teaching and I want my students to enjoy learning from me. I have a huge passion for music making and I am willing to accommodate students as best as I can and assist them to do the best they can do. I teach because I want students to walk out of my lesson with more knowledge than when they entered. I do not expect all my students to continue music for the rest of their life but I want them to have a pleasant experience with making music and learning music. Read More

I have taken string pedagogy classes during my undergrad at Oberlin Conservatory and my master's degree at University of Maryland. I have been teaching privately since 2016. I have taught students from ages 7 to 65. I find that my teaching style is particularly suited for older kids to adults, though I have taught several students below the age of 12. My students have won auditions for their Regionals Orchestra and All-State Orchestra. My students have also performed solo pieces on my violin and viola studio recital at the end of the school year.
