I would approach teaching by making sure the student is comfortable with whatever i am showing them, and trying to adapt to whatever style makes them comfortable if necessary. Setting goals for the end of each lesson is important based on their skill level and how quickly they pick up the information. I will do whatever it takes to make sure the student is getting some sort of value from the lesson, and make every minute count. Read More

I strive to strike a careful balance between classical technique and pop performance. I want my students to have fun and fuel the desire to become better musicians. I use the Suzuki Method (to a certain point) in conjunction with my own method for learning music theory and ear training. I always ask my students what they're listening to and what they would like to play - I'm open to virtually any genre. Read More

For beginner students who are children, I typically start with Suzuki violin book. My goal is try to find the balance between fun and progress.

For adults, I will find out what is the music goal of them, and set a clear plan every week and make it step by step to improve themselves. Read More

I’ve been teaching private lessons for about 6 years. Some of my favorite teaching experiences have been from my time in Tanzania, where I have been a music teacher every summer since 2016. I’ve taught students as young as 4 years old- I think it’s never to early to introduce the joys of music making to a child! Children and adult students alike, my biggest goal in lessons is to foster a life-long love of music. Read More
