Instruments: Violin Viola Music

I am a certified Suzuki teacher (and a Suzuki kid myself!). I have taken Suzuki training through Book 3, though do teach books beyond that level. I have been teaching for over 10 years in all different settings-- private lessons, group classes, elementary school side-by-side programs, and love it all. I believe people of all backgrounds, whether children or adults, have the capability of learning an instrument because we all have an innate musical side to us. Read More

After I moved to Madison, I had the chance to teach college students violin lessons and coach chamber groups in high schools through the outreach program at school.

I have found if students get familiar with the instrument and learning materials, as a result, they would make good progress, feel motivate to continue to learn and enjoy playing the instruments.

Performances throughout the year, which include solos, duos, trios, and quartets will further inspire the student to progress even further. Read More

While I have performed with numerous groups, I found myself falling more in love with teaching than performing.

I believe that everyone can benefit from learning an instrument and I strive to give the best instruction and form the best environment possible. Read More

For the child and adult alike I begin with different types of instuctional material. Since instuctional materials use similar but somewhat different ways of presenting concepts, I use the the series that will allow the student to grasp and master the fundamentals. The older student, along with learning the fundmentals, will also explore their interests. I'll begin tailoring their lessons to include their interests as well as other genres. Read More
