About
There are an abundance of string teachers in the Chicagoland area, but few of them can boast having real teaching credentials. Not here - I actually have a music education degree. Not only do I know how to play the violin really well, I also have the teaching tools necessary to get my students to play the violin really well. When you choose a teacher with real credentials, you get farther, faster.
I've loved music as long as I can remember, but I love teaching because I get to watch he next generation of musicians fall in love with music everyday.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
If they are brand new, we have an intro lesson of learning how to open their case and hold their instrument, then they learn how to pluck their first songs. For students transferring from another private teacher, or students who have played in orchestra but never taken private lessons, I typically ask them to play a few scales or pieces for me to assess their technique and areas for development, and often offer them a few pointers right away. Then I converse with the parent about basic studio policies and what to expect moving forward.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
BA Music Education, Lake Forest College 2016
Registered Suzuki training through book 3
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Ask the teacher what their vision is for your child's musical development. If they don't have a good answer, keep looking.
