Beginning students - Children: I will begin with either Suzuki or Essential Elements for the initial learning process. I focus on form and producing a clear, clean sound.

I have a lot of patience because of this but I also have high standards because I know what my students are capable of doing. Read More

I'm a film director and writer, a recent graduate in pursuit of a goal.

Creating a non-judgemental atmosphere, where students are free to experiment, make mistakes, and try again, is crucial for learning an instrument such as the violin. With this instrument, repeptition is key to learning. I also strive to set very clear, manageble goals, so students feel a sense of accomplishment at each stage.

I often let students have a choice of which solo piece they get to play, as I have witnessed many past students rise to the ocassional to learn a piece they are passionate about! Read More
