I began teaching when I was a freshman in High School and I continued with a full-time load of students throughout all four years because of how much I loved it! Eventually adding some beginner adult students into my rotation of kids as well! I taught a few college level students throughout my college years whenever I could and took on summer students during my breaks! Now that I am done with college I am very excited to begin teaching students of all ages again and sharing my love and appreciation of music with them. Read More

The dynamics of the class we make between the student and me. Of course, I lead the class, but the questions are very important. Read More

I teach every student slightly differently depending on their needs and age and more. There is nothing more fun than playing music so I love to help build their passion for playing the violin/vla/cello. I like the lessons to be fun experiences. I find that playing with others can be very encouraging. So whenever they can have group classes or share two lessons back to back with both of them there the entire time I love to do that.

Having a library of methods at my studio, I tailor my materials to the student. That is a creative process in itself, and always fun. I use classical European etudes and methods, contemporary sheet music, my own teaching etudes, childrens' books with CDs, fiddle books, etc. I have weekly lesson plans that cover warmups, focus points, working pieces, etudes, theory, review and performance preparation, and I keep a copy of each plan for my own review.

Since I am certified as a Teacher Training through the Suzuki Association of the Americas, I have adopted the Suzuki method, which is known as the "mother-tongue" approach. Like learning a language, constant exposure to music helps develop the skills necessary to play an instrument. As a current language-learner, I cannot stress being exposed to violin and viola pieces enough! It is a surefire way to develop ear-training skills, dictation skills, and eventually improvisational skills. Read More
