In essence, my love of teaching stems from my Mom's love of teaching. She sincerely desired to teach my siblings and myself to pursue our highest dreams. It turned out that I did succeed as a star performer in music, on stages around the world. But also, when I decided to settle down, I added education to my 10-year plan. So, I went back to school for another master's degree, and taught music in CPS - performing three nights per week with my the Bartels/Benson duo, Connexion Band, Prohibition Orchestra, Bryan Skyler Trio, and other groups.

I have a experience doing the voluntary teaching at elementary, middle school around the Rochester area. As a teacher, it was very inspiring to see lots of students who wish to learn instrument after school simply because they love playing small songs with their peers. Through the experience of teaching group of students, the primary fundamental I kept was that we are doing music was that we need to enjoy during the outcome (such as playing in group together).

As a driven music education advocate, I am especially interested in conveying how music affects different aspects of life. My lessons are designed to develop the musical potential that every student has by guiding students to produce their most beautiful sound and feel a natural comfort with their instrument. I teach a thorough understanding of the relationship between anatomy and sound for technique focused on eliminating tension. Lessons foster creativity, problem-solving, goal-setting, and especially students' passions. Read More

I have over 12 years of teaching orchestra at a high school level and over 20 years of private lesson teaching instruction. I know that everyone has enough "talent" to play a musical instrument; I provide the precise instruction on how to approach violin/viola in order to grow your talent. I am comfortable communicating with children just learning to play and very much enjoy teaching adult beginners also. My joy is watching the eyes of a student as they realize that they are playing music... and it wasn't really all the hard, after all. Read More

Hi! My name is Martina and I am a classically trained violist. In May of 2013 I received a Master of Music from Roosevelt University, where I studied with Lawrence Neuman of the Chicago Symphony.

I've received training on violin and viola and can't wait to start teaching you or your child. Read More

Teaching has always been my greatest passion mainly due to the great pedagogues that have guided and inspired me to pass on the invaluable knowledge and skill to future aspiring musicians. Read More
