I truly feel that the most fulfilling thing for me to do in my life is to teach music and instill the belief in every student that they can become the best musician they can be. My teaching experience, goes back a decade ago, when I was a student myself. As time went on, I dedicated myself to practicing every day and I became really advanced in a short period of time.

On a first lesson, i will assess where you or your student is in terms of playing ability, based on that we can decide what comes next. Typically, if a student is brand new we will start with learning the basics of the violin and reading music using various excerpts and hands on experience. Then once some of the basics are acquired we will begin with primarily Suzuki method books as well as anything else the student may have the want to study such a piece or solo for school. Read More

For beginning players, there will be written work to teach aspects of music, including note identification. As students progress, incorporating technical aspects of a composition and different bowing techniques is necessary. We will gradually introduce more skills. Attempting too much at one time or too fast will reduce skills and cause frustration. I incorporate a mixture of All For Strings, Stringbuilder, and Suzuki for beginners. Then add Wohlfahrt Foundation Studies and progress through the Suzuki books. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with the Suzuki Method and playing by ear. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire on sheet music appropriate for their level of performance. It is important to stress the fundamentals of technique for my beginner students before just playing music. I like to incorporate music theory within their lessons, so not only are they able to hear a piece of music and can start playing but can also read sheet music that is put in front of them.

My goal as a violin instructor is not only to solely teach music, but to also cultivate a love for music in the hearts of my students. My lessons will be a safe space where we can express ourselves through music, free of rigid expectations and at the pace of the learner. Both the teacher and student will work together to set achievable goals each lesson. As a fellow individual who also lives in this busy world, I understand the many demands that life makes of us, and I aim to provide lessons that both promote growth and a passion for violin.

So many students are encouraged to learn before they really have their own grasp of what music is to them. Getting in touch with the inner musician is important early on to allow development of the passion over time. It is very important to me to make music fun while also emphasizing it's rewards. I love to see students grow and I love to encourage whatever path that it follows. Read More
