My teaching experience is quite varied. I've taught young children as a member of Mimi Zweig's pedagogy classes, and I currently teach group classes to 3rd-5th graders here in NYC. I've taught chamber music to teenagers in Indiana University's Summer String Academy and to adult learners in Montreal.

Teaching for me really became serious in 2018. I started with teaching in my own home and did go to the houses of my students as well for a short time.

I feel that teaching this way, the student builds confidence and the ability to tackle any particular technique or aspect of music. Read More
