About

I have been an orchestra director and private lesson teacher for 25 years! Because of this, I am able to help students prepare for Solo/Ensemble, Master Musician, All County/All State Auditions, college/music festival/or other auditions, and seating tests. Beginners welcome too!

I offer lessons on violin, viola, cello, bass, and piano.

I have performed with The Who, Celtic Woman, Il Divo, and Hanson.

Muisc is my life! I attended 4 fine arts magnet schools growing up and then attended USF for music. I have 3 degrees in music/music education and came in 2nd place in SHAR'S Teacher Appreciate Nationwide music competition.

It also gives me the opportunity to perform with some of my musical idols. I've played concerts with The Who, Weird Al, Celtic Woman, & Il Divo.

    She lives a bit far from me for in-person lessons, but my one lesson with her was impressive because of her presentation and note-taking of details to follow in playing scales and arpeggios. I told Shari that if I could not fine in-person lessons at a teachers location near to where I live, I would take Zoom lessons from her.

    Frequently asked questions

    The most important part is figuring out ability level and goals. What do you wish to achieve from taking private lessons and how can I help make this possible?

    25 years of being an orchestra director/private lesson teacher in Hillsborough County

    I prefer hour lessons so that we have time to work on scales, etudes, and solos. Lessons are $40 an hour but I often charge an additional $5 if the travel distance is more than 30 minutes in each direction.

    I attended USF for music education in 1992 and earned my BS in Music Education in 1996. I immediately went to work in Hillsborough County as a string speciailist, teaching at 3-5 schools at a time.

    All of them! I have worked with students from 6-75 years ago with all different levels and abilities. I am also gifted certified and have worked with ESE students.

    Playing with The Who! I was just hired to play 2nd violin for the 2 stadium shows in Tampa/Miami and we just rehearsed with the band last week in West Palm Beach.

    Look for someone who loves music!

    Be honest and upfront! The more I understand about your needs, the better I can help you achieve them.
