I'm your gal for practical, real-world music skills, including collaboration, improvisation, and songwriting. My strong classical background and technique supports my eclectic musical pursuits, and I encourage my students to practice the basics and build their technique as well as follow their interests to whatever genre and instrument catches their heart!

I owe a great deal of my character development and work ethic to the benefits of music. I taught a handful of students during the year of 2012 in Kentucky but focused primarily on my studies after transferring to San Diego. I began teaching again after graduating from USD at my studio in Coronado. I have a considerable amount of experience with children through teaching, volunteering, and childcare however I'm a firm believer that you can begin learning an instrument at any age and I welcome all into my studio to learn music.

I prescribe relaxation and slow practicing with my ongoing advice, no matter what age or degree of technical expertise the student I am teaching possesses. Often times, I arrange a concert for students to play with piano accompaniment to get familiar with the harmony of the music, and to get used to playing in front of people, which is an essential part of their growth. They need to face the stage to refine both their technical and expressive abilities, while simultaneously undergoing a large of personal, emotional, and mental growth in their character.  Read More

Although I began my musical career in the Suzuki method, I intentionally balance the ear-training approach of that method with music theory to create well-rounded musicians. My students will learn how to sight read music, improvize their own melodies, perform in an ensemble (chamber and/or orchestral) and master the art of performance with a solid foundation in music theory. I generally start off with Suzuki repertoire for beginning students, but supplement that with scales, positions exercises, dexterity exercises, and sight-reading material. Read More

I am a fan of the Suzuki method for beginning Violin students. It is the way I learned, so I am familiar with it. I do think it is important for students to have some say in what they learn. It is important for young students to have fun during the learning process. I like to throw in some current music that is familiar to the student. I also find it important to set goals. Read More
