I began playing viola in the 4th grade in school orchestra. I didn't have a regular private teacher until I was 14, which is a bit later than many students. I wasn't always motivated to practice, but when I saw my progress I began to work harder and decided to major in music! I've had opportunities to perform in some pretty cool places and also teach students from different backgrounds ranging in age from 7 to 65. Read More

My teaching philosophy revolved around the idea that music should be fun and engaging. While many teachers start their students off by learning how to read music, I like to begin with actually playing and familiarizing yourself with the instrument and later translating that information to written music notation.

I like to take into account the students music preference and learn what specifically they want to get out of private lessons. Read More

I use multiples methods. One of them is the Susuki method. I consider that is a good method for beginners with a lot of techniques exercises and also includes pieces. For me it is essential that a student learn first all the techniques exercises and then start to create music. After that I started to teach how to respect the essential aspects in a piece: the fingering, the bowing, the dynamics, the tempo and others. Read More
