I am passionate about pedagogy, methodology, and finding the right approach for the right student. With over 20 years of teaching experience across a variety of formats (private lessons, group classes, chamber music coaching, orchestra sectionals, etc.), and having taught in over 25 countries to a wide range of cultures, I love the puzzle of finding the right approach for each and every student I work with. It's vitally important to me to find the right explanation, technique, or exercise to help set my students up for success--not only to give them the right tools for their approach, but to also help them feel empowered to grow as a musician.

Music lessons are a space to learn and experience meaningful connections amongst individuals through discussing musical material as a means of expression and thoughtfulness. In the individual lessons we discuss possibilities of thinking about sounds and ways of bringing sounds to life in different ways. Violin lessons are in particular a great way of exploring the connectedness of the thought, feelings, and body through learning the instrument as well as reading music. In each lesson, we discuss ways of developing a better understanding of this connection using different methods; the methods used for each student can vary according to their needs. As a result, students will be able to play different music on the violin and improvise on the instrument. In music theory, ear training, and composition lessons we delve into the basics of music theory in Western Classical tradition, the history of it, and look at some examples as well as practical exercises for a better understanding of the material. Through the process of learning, we will explore different ways of implementing different theoretical aspects of the sound in creative practice.

How do you learn and what are your goals in learning music? I aim to make learning music as interesting and accessible as possible. I use a scaffolded approach to teaching that pairs physically sustainable playing techniques (Alexander Technique) with built-upon previous knowledge and interests.
