About

Hello! I have experience teaching violin to all levels of students. Education background includes performance degrees from the Cleveland Institute of Music (BM) and the USC Thornton School of Music (MM, GC). My lessons are always tailored to the abilities of the individual. Currently I teach both online and in-person.

I love sharing my passion for the violin with my students and helping them grow to be the best musicians possible!

    Michael is a fantastic violin teacher. I felt he was clear and organized. He is also very friendly, and made me feel comfortable trying the violin for the first time! He is excellent teaching beginners to advanced students. He has advanced knowledge of the orchestral repertoire and would be a great teacher for anyone wanting to play the violin professionally. I highly recommend Michael!

    Michael makes my violin lessons so much fun. Hes always on time and seems happy to see me. Im surprised he had time to teach me because hes really busy and is a GREAT violin player! I work really hard but Michael gives me tips to make my practicing so much easier. Things I was confused about are now really clear the way he explains it. If you want the best violin teacher, go see Michael!
