About
I have a masters of music degree in violin performance from the Juilliard School as well as a Suzuki certification of books 1-10. I also have extensive experience teaching beginners up to an advanced level.
I love setting goals for each individual student depending on their vision and trajectory and help them meet those goals. I've been teaching privately for nine years and I have extensive experience with all different ages and levels. I taught at Juilliard pre-college, New England Conservatory pre-college, and currently am a teaching fellow at Yale University.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
My process is different depending on the level of the student and age. With younger students I have a tried and true system of repertoire and exercises that sets them up for excellent technique, reading skills, and musicality. For older students I like to first find out what goals they have so that I can apply that during their journey with the violin.
