Instruments: Violin Bass Guitar

I enjoy seeing my students having fun while playing music. My hope is to enable all my students to be able to get to a point where they are enjoying their own playing. I try to be very understanding as a teacher and establish a genuine relationship with my students so later down the line, I'm not only a music instructor to them but also a mentor they can come to in times of need.

For my beginning students, I typically start with either Essential Elements 2000 for strings or Sound Innovations. Both books give younger students a grasp on the fundamentals of technique.

I try and encourage what they are more comfortable with. For adults, I try to find out what genre of music they enjoy and try to gauge their ability level with a couple playing evaluations.

I use the Suzuki method as well as the Doflein method books, and will choose other specific methods depending on what else the student would like to learn and what will help develop style,technique, and musicality.

It's about having fun, enjoying the music, making it musical, and most of all, loving what you are doing. Read More
