Violinist | Educator
ONLINE | IN-PERSON LESSONS
Why do I teach?
I teach because I have personally experienced the lasting impact of music in my life. I am aware that my ability to play the violin and deep appreciation for music was nurtured by my own violin teachers.
I believe music has the ability to help people find greater meaning and purpose in life. Words cannot begin to describe the joy I find in working with students and helping them find their own unique voice on the violin, and finding ways to help them express themselves.
I offer lessons to all individuals, regardless of learning levels or experience. All are welcome!
