“My main goal for teaching violin is to help each student learn the joy and freedom of being lifelong learners and to not get pulled into the trap of perfectionism that often plagues musicians.”

“To learn the violin, one must explore a complex layering of skills- from technique to posture, theory to musicianship, curiosity to bravery- it’s almost like learning to be a superhero! I believe every student possesses the ability to master these skills, one by one, and become not just superheroes of the violin, but powerful masters of their own lives. Learning to play the violin is an incredible journey!”

“My core values in studying and teaching music are consistency, gentle and steady progress, mastery of skill, welcoming challenges as an opportunity for growth and finding deep satisfaction and joy in the process. I seek to inspire independent learning and the joy of discovery, making room for students to blossom into their unique strengths and talents, as they experience new aspects of themselves through music.”

“My passion is to instruct each student in my studio using a holistic approach. In doing so, my desire is to educate the whole musician in body, soul, spirit and mind with precision and gentleness.”

“My goal is to provide every student with the tools needed (technical, musical, and psychological) to become a thriving lifelong learner and artist. I do not teach through performance- or shame-based learning, but seek to inspire students to independent learning and discovery.”
