Instruments: Piano, Violin, Viola

I have experience teaching Suzuki violin and piano. I also use other popular methods such as All for Strings, Doflein, and Piano Adventures. I am very willing to use other methods a student may prefer or has already been working on. I supplement any method with pieces of music of particular interest to the student. I have experience with classical music and can teach other genres such as jazz, Latin and popular music, according to the interests of the particular student. Read More

My main goal in teaching music is to build a good foundation. Not all music students will go on to major in music, and that's OK.

I like to build a positive relationship with my students, and I encourage progress in order to make students eager to learn more. Read More

I believe that every individual is different and possesses unique strengths and weaknesses. As such, I tailor my approach to meet each student's learning style and personality. I work with students to set clear goals based on their specific interests and needs. I love celebrating my students’ accomplishments and helping them find their voice. I find it very important to meet each student where they are, to turn weaknesses into strengths, and to use music learning as a vehicle to inform not only their skill set on the instrument but also their development as a person.
