Hi Everyone! My name is Dr. Donna. I have five academic degrees, including a TESOL, law, and teaching. I offer online classes in a range of subjects. My goal is to make the classes enjoyable while we spend time together pursuing our greater learning.

Hi! As a teacher (and artist), my role is to be constructive, honest, and helpful on our journey together. I want you to connect with your own instrument in a way that is practical, truthful, and impactful. I'm a multiple-award winning professional actor based in Los Angeles, working in TV, film, and theatre, with additional produced experience as a playwright, screenwriter, and director for the stage and screen, and I carry my entire artistic life into my conversations with my students, young and old.

I have been playing violin for over 20 years and have taught in various capacities for over a decade. I grew up in central Massachusetts and now am based in LA.

Empathetic, understanding, knowledgable and patient teacher. University of Southern California Music School graduate. 30 years of experience as a professional musician.
