Before I began my professional teaching career I already had several years of experience instructing my two younger siblings in violin and cello, even serving as a primary instructor to one of the siblings at one point.

I teach students of all ages and playing levels, and I like to emphasize the importance of learning proper technique in my lessons, as building a solid technical foundation gives you the freedom to explore your creativity without the frustration of having to overcome technical barriers on their own.
