Instruments: Piano Violin

Once a student has grasped the basics of playing the violin and are comfortable navigating around the instrument, I start preparing them for their first performance. For children and adults alike, I believe that performing at any level to any audience is extremely important to build confidence, as well as casual group lessons and performances. I try to make sure a student is always working on something they truly enjoy, especially outside of technical work. Read More

I have been teaching privately and in group classes for the past 6 years. This past summer, I taught a chamber orchestra of kids ages 6-12 in Narni, Italy. It was a truly rewarding experience. Most of my experience is with teaching private lessons. I am open to teaching all ages and levels. For violin, I teach mostly beginners and intermediate students, but can teach all levels for viola. I encourage my students to play recitals so that they can be proud of their accomplishments! Read More

I began playing violin at the age of 12. Over the years, I developed my skills further by joining my local community orchestra and getting lessons from renowned instructor pedagogues. I received my Bachelor's degree in Music Education at the State University of New York at Fredonia in 2017, where I performed regularly with the Symphonic and Chamber Orchestra, and learned about how to teach students both individually and in a school setting.

The main takeaway I want my students to walk away with after our lessons is that they enjoy playing the violin. I believe that encouragement and patience are huge parts of music education. However, I also like to push my students to take challenges and reach their highest potential.

I am extremely passionate and devoted to teaching, and love to share the incredible discovery of music-making with my students. I love spending time with people and learning what makes each unique individual tick. My studies have brought me from Bostons New England Conservatory to Europe to Los Angeles to New Yorks own Juilliard School. Ive had amazing opportunities to share music and art with colleagues, students, and mentors from around the world on stages as big as Carnegie and Alice Tully Halls to small and intimate house concerts.

My teaching experience is quite varied. I've taught young children as a member of Mimi Zweig's pedagogy classes, and I currently teach group classes to 3rd-5th graders here in NYC.

I encourage regular practice and strong fundamentals, but I also sincerely think that although there are many ways to teach and to learn, the best ways always are enjoyable. Read More
