About

Music Background

I grew up in a large musical family where every sibling had to play one band and one orchestra instrument. Of course I wasn't going to play any instrument that had already been chosen but as the youngest child, this presented a problem. Thank goodness the viola had never been chosen or I may have ended up on the cello!

How did you get started in teaching?

I have completed several Suzuki teacher training courses and I planned to always use this curriculum and method. It was only when I started getting more students did I realize that one size does not fit all. I quickly learned that I needed to expand my repertoire in order to keep my student's interest and joy of playing alive.

What do you want students to take away from their time with you?

I value a strong technical foundation above all else. I know that if I give my students a comfortable set up and achievable practice techniques, they will be able to continue to learn whatever music they love to play for the rest of their life.

What do you enjoy about teaching?

Every student has improved me as a teacher and person in some way. My student's are the reason that I am constantly stretching, growing, and increasing my involvement (and theirs) in the music community.

    My son started practicing violin with Maria at the age of five. She leads innovative classes and is patient, fun, and intuitive in her process. I highly recommend her as a teacher of music, she leads with passion and creativity and has an eye for perfection without being overbearing.

    Both of my daughters learned to play Viola with Ms. Maria. She is great and patient with small and big kids, has a lot of teaching resources so the kids are engaged and interested during the class.
    We love that her students are encouraged to play in festival every year and she organizes her own winter and summer recitals.
