I have been teaching professionally for 11 years. Before I began my professional teaching career I already had several years of experience instructing my two younger siblings in violin and cello, even serving as a primary instructor to one of the siblings at one point. I have mainly taught private lessons out of my home. However, I was also a violin teaching assistant at the University of Oklahoma, I have helped teach private and group classes for music camps and events across the country, and am currently employed at School of Creative Arts in Cary.

I believe the best teaching method is one that focuses on the accomplishments of each student. I have several different rewards systems that I will use to motivate students to practice at home.

Additionally, I am a big believer in affirmation and will do my best to encourage each student throughout the lesson. Read More

For beginners, I would start with basic fundamentals such as naming the strings and the notes on each string. Next I would move to scales, chords, and arpeggios. After that is established, I would focus on different bow movements such as staccato and pizzicato. The next focalization would be on shifting from first position to third position on the viola. I would also introduce vibrato during this time as vibrato adds so much life and texture to the music. Read More

I am a 19 year-old student of Baptist College of Ministry in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. Having grown up the second oldest of five siblings, I understand how to relate to other people and work with them even in difficult situations. As a Christian, I believe in good character principles and righteous living. I ultimately desire the best for others rather than myself. With a life of teaching ahead of me, I am constantly seeking better ways of instructing students, relating with their issues, and helping them find the best way to success. Read More
