Profile————————————————————
I am a music teacher who believes that any student can learn anything! For the past ten years I have taught both strings (violin and viola) and piano to students of all ages and backgrounds! I also enjoy teaching several students who have various levels of learning disabilities. I graduated with a music major in pedagogy and performance. Throughout college, I also took several pedagogy classes and have done research in the special ed field, and I absolutely love figuring out how the brain of each child works. It has been amazing to see these students progress in their instrument and to see how their music development has accelerated their growth in other areas! I am absolutely passionate to partner with parents to see each child be successful in music! My goal is to nurture and develop such a love and confidence in this field that the child can collaborate with his peers and share the beauty of music with others throughout his entire life. I have enjoyed teaching students from beginner to advanced levels for the past nine years! I have taught students as young as three and as old as eighty-five. I have a passion for excellence and hold high expectations for my students!
