My teaching experience dates back to when I was in high school, when I began teaching beginning students of all instruments 10 years ago. I have been consistently teaching students in their homes, my home, and online for the past 5 years. Ive found that introducing students to as many different styles of music as possible goes a long way in helping students enjoy playing their instrument and listening to recordings of their instrument.

I believe that every student has their own learning style and I strive to teach to the student. Therefore, every student is taught differently, according to what works for them, and how the student is comfortable being taught. Student's will learn at their own pace while being encouraged to go beyond what they believe they are capable. Students will be given playing opportunities in an annual rectial, and semi annual group performances. Read More

I teach a combination of Suzuki and traditional methods. I grew up as a Suzuki student, but in my professional teaching life have learned to add additional methods into lessons to supplement training. For young, beginner students, I start them off with a method book like "All for Strings," which teaches first by rote. Not long after the students achieve the basic skills of the violin, we incorporate the Suzuki method and note reading. Read More

I have been running my own private studio since my high school years and am now currently enrolled as a Colburn Teaching Fellow at my college which entails teaching children from low income families in the Los Angles area. Encouraging regular practice in a consistent schedule is one of the most important points for a younger student to help progress and gain passion for the instrument. I encourage my students to enter youth or community orchestras, competitions, and recitals. Read More

I began teaching in 2009 as a teachers assistant at an elemenatary school in my home town. Ever since then I have been in love with education. In some ways, the rewards of teaching can be even more so than that of performing. In 2010, I began to take in private violin students teaching at the Community School of Music and the Arts at the Unviersity of Redlands. Soon after I joined the CSMA String Project, where I taught alongside an experienced credentialed teacher. Read More

I have taught violin and viola for the past 8 years, beginning when I was in high school, until the present. The majority of the students I teach are violinists, but I also teach viola as well. The majority of my students are between the ages of 3 and 10, but I enjoy teaching children/adults of any age and level. I began my studies when I was 11 years old, and on viola, which is very late in the classical music world. Read More
