For my youngest students, age 7 and under, I begin with Adventures in Violinland, a wonderful method written by Shirley Givens, instructor at Peabody Preperatory. This teaches note reading with a solfegg system. It has a strong emphasis on technique. For beginners ages 8 and up, I use either Essential Elements or Sound Innovations, usually matching it with whatever the school district uses that the student lives in. As the students progress, I use the Suzuki repertoire as well as various scale and technique books. Read More

Instruments: Violin
I think it is important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I try to set goals for my students which match with the student's learning pace at each lesson. Additionally, by trying to find out what inspires the student, I can tailor my instruction to their wants and needs successfully. One way I try to find out what inspires the student by asking what pieces interest them. Read More
Instruments: Violin Music Keyboard
Beginner: Learning the violin can be an adventure! From the first moment holding the violin, the student develops a natural way of holding the instrument and develops auditory skills that nurture a good musical foundation. Methods such as Suzuki as well as other traditional methods are used in an approach customized to each student. Intermediate: Once the student has a good foundation, the focus is on further developing a coordinated way of physically relating to the violin, developing critical listening skills, problem-solving, self-monitoring, building repertoire, growing an ability to express oneself on the violin, and learning to play with others in an ensemble.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
The many teachers that I have had in high school were the main reasons why I decided to go in to music. My high school orchestra teacher is a professional bass player and he continues to inspire me as I grow older. I was also a member of various youth orchestras, all of which had very inspirational teachers. I hope to inspire my students to go in to music or at least continue their music while they pursue other things.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose my primary instruments, the viola, because of my father. He told me that as a baby, I would bob up and down whenever the violas had a solo in any classical music piece that we would listen to together, so he knew that the instrument was meant for me. Additionally, the viola is an instrument that gets enough time in the spotlight, but it primarily serves as the supporting role in an ensemble. I feel that the viola is perfect for me because my personality is extroverted enough to enjoy being in attention part of the time, but I excel the most when I support my colleagues and friends.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have been a member of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, which is the premier training orchestra in the Midwest. It is associated with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, so we got to perform at Symphony Center and our coaches were members of the Chicago Symphony. Additionally, I was also a member of the Baltic Sea Philharmonic, which is comprised of members who were selected from a pool of musicians that are from one of the 10 countries that border that Baltic Sea.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have both a Bachelors degree in Music and a Masters degree in Music Performance. I chose these degrees because I have always felt that I shined the most in music and that I couldn't picture myself in a job that didn't require me to perform, teach, or discuss music on a daily basis. I pride myself in receiving my masters degree from Northwestern University because that is where I believe that I was pushed to my limits as a musician. I have learned to perform and teach at very high level because of the degrees I have attained.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice passages that are tricky slowly at first and then slowly pick up the tempo (preferably using your metronome!). Taking the time to play slowly first helps wonders and helps technique.
