It is a wonderful thing to see my students develop a passion for music! Therefore it is important to know that each student will progress at their own pace. I encourage students to make time each day, whether it is only 5 mins, to their violin. Practice makes BETTER! Learning an instrument is just as challenging and time oriented as if you were learning to play a sport, or new language. Read More

I believe a good musical day is enjoyed through a well-balanced musical diet! I love to keep the fundamentals in mind with scales and etudes fit for the student's skill level, and leverage those through a performance piece of choice, be it mine or yours (with blessings). If we are working towards a specific piece for a recital or a judge, I will tailor assignments to the piece. I am proficient with music notation software, so customized sheets are absolutely a possibility. Read More

Even if they did not come to a lesson prepared, being able to see growth in the small amount of time I'm with them is enough for me. I understand that every student progresses at their own pace, so I work with them and their parents to make sure that realistic goals are set and written down to hold the student, parent, and myself to this growth plan.
