Welcome to my studio!
​
I specialize in teaching students dedicated to learning the art of playing their instrument. My studio is a large group of serious and talented viola and violin students ranging in age from 14 to 30. ​I believe in a student-led approach to teaching - My favorite part of teaching is helping students achieve their goals and feel confident in and out of the practice room. Any goal, from assisting students in learning how to hold an instrument to preparing for graduate school auditions or feeling confident in the practice room.

Teaching Philosophy
My comprehensive approach to teaching integrates music theory, history, improvisation, repertoire studies, and nonviolent communication skills while tailoring each lesson to the individual students' needs, goals, and desires. I believe that virtuosity is the ability to make music with anyone, and I ensure that all my students, even those who specialize in one playing style, can play any genre of music. By teaching coordination techniques and mindful, time-effective practice habits, I help my students become skilled musicians and lifelong learners who can adapt to any musical situation.
​
Music is a unique oral tradition we get to be a part of. One of my greatest joys is passing what I have learned from my teachers to the next generations of musicians. This joy drives me to teach and share my love for music.
