I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves sharing the transformative power of classical music with students. I am currently working towards getting a Bachelor's of Music Performance at New York University. I've had the privilege of playing with orchestras and chamber ensembles in amazing spaces like Carnegie Hall, Weill recital hall, and Jazz at Lincoln Center. There's something truly magical about sharing a beloved piece of music with an audience for the first time, and this is what excites me most about performing. 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

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I am fortunate to have two Performance Degrees in Violin from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, where I studied with Bettina Mussumeli (as well as chamber music with Mark Sokol). When I was young, the opportunity to learn the violin was given to me through my elementary school's strings program, and I fell in love with the violin. By the time I was 11 years old, I was already set on being a professional violinist, and told anyone that would listen! Connecting with an audience through music has always been a joy to me, and the intense standards for musicality and technique in a Performance Degree program highly appealed to me.
While I was studying Violin Performance, I also had the opportunity to begin teaching, which expanded my love for the violin in a different way. I learn so much about my own violin playing from teaching my students, and my teaching has benefited greatly from the exceptional teachers that I studied with on my own violin journey. Now, I view my career as being equal parts performer and educator- both are things that I am highly passionate about.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
With young beginners, consider how your child takes direction in a classroom setting. If they are able to follow basic instructions well, they are likely ready for violin lessons! The violin can be taught to very young children, but it depends on the maturity of the particular child and their ability to stay on-task.
I ask for parental participation in lessons with all children under 10 years old; during the week, you are the 'at-home teacher', so it's important to be aware of what we discuss in lessons. I do not expect parents to be musicians already (but hey, it's great if you are!)- I take the time to explain concepts to the parent to empower them to help their child practice confidently during the week. I am also available between lessons for any questions that may arise.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Building a routine of daily practice is essential, especially for young beginners as they set out on their journey with the violin. I encourage my students to start with a short amount of practice every day (think of it like brushing your teeth!) to build the habit and then increase the practice expectation over time as lesson materials increase in complexity.
I also believe that practicing efficiently is the goal, instead of X number of hours a day; quality over quantity! With all of my students, I approach practicing as another technique, just like left-hand agility or bow hold. Knowing how to practice effectively will take you further on the instrument and lead to more satisfying results.
