My teaching experience dates back to my college days,as I began teaching private lessons 17 years ago,and have been consistently teaching students in my home or students home for the last 17 years.Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for students,as it tends to help the students progress and gain a passion for the instrument.I have also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the violin and motivate to practice and continue to learn.

My first experience teaching was during the summer when I began instructing swim lessons for the town pool. I quicly began to seek out a way to teach music before I was in college and built a small studio of beginner cellists in my home town. I also began performing in both classical and other styles during this time, something I continue to do today.
