I have a focused yet comfortable approach to teaching. One of my greatest thrills is watching my students succeed in either conquering a new technique or simply feeling the joy of finishing a piece. I take into consideration who my student is, what they are going through and watch them grow over time into confident musicians, performers and individuals. I give each student the experience to learn to play with other musicians. Read More

I have been teaching independently since 2004, with experience in classical, Celtic fiddle, bluegrass, rock and improvisation. In addition to private lessons, I have assisted with classes from elementary through high school level at various schools. I plan customized lessons and work with students individually to achieve goals. I like to form real relationships with my students and still stay in touch with students I have not taught for years! It is very rewarding to me to help students find their own voices in music, and I try to provide the tools they will need to be successful in whichever style/field of music they are drawn to.

For beginning string students, I start students with 'Time For Strings' written by Fishburn and Luman. This book is especially helpful for beginners due to the unique rhythmic approach. I also have an all-inclusive curriculum for beginning strings. When ready (usually within the first 6-8 months of lessons), all students are encouraged to participate in NYSSMA Festival's. Students taking private lessons are also encouraged to be part of my yearly recital. Read More
