Why choose to have lessons with me?

  • I teach my students how to be independent (for example, setting up and tuning their own violin, writing in pencil markings on the sheet music themselves, problem-solving skills, etc.)

  • I help my students to become confident players and progress at a competitive pace. On average, my students are two levels higher than what is average for their age group.

  • I am able to explain complicated concepts to children using fun metaphors that make it easy for them to understand.

  • As an orchestra conductor, I offer a unique perspective into the sheet music/pieces that is beneficial to your child.
