Experience

Hello! I am a 5th grade strings specialist. I work with beginner violinists, violists, cellists and bassists. I have worked in the public school classroom as well as sectionals and even private coaching. We start from the very beginning, with students having never touched a string instrument.

Teaching style

My approach is always with an end of goal of my kids loving to play. Every mastery, game, worksheet is to work towards confidence on their instrument. Kids who are confident will go on to play beyond high school, even if they don't pursue music for their career.
