In 2012, I graduated from The Peabody Conservatory with a Bachelor of Music degree in Violin performance with Ms.Violaine Melancon. I also earned a Masters of Music degree in Violin performance/Peadagody with Mr.Herbert Greenberg in 2012.

A typical lesson starts off with 2-3 scales for warm-ups, partially to get a feel for where our minds and bodies are for the day (because every lesson is different).

I ask all my students if they want to be a technician, an artist, or both. A technician is someone who is technically proficient on their instrument and works towards executing difficult techniques and passages.

There is room for both in all genres, and while learning to read music is incredibly important, I am very against the monkey-see-monkey-do approach of just reading sheet music and nothing else.

Throughout my time here, I solidified my teaching skills through my learning in person and online due to the pandemic. It was very hard to complete the degree but I ended up being the first student in my class to officially pass the oral thesis and attain the degree.
