About
I am a classically trained violinist, but I enjoy all styles of music. I have taught for over 30 years in the south Indianapolis/Greenwood area. I really enjoy working with people to help them achieve their goals in regards to the violin.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
The first lesson is a "meet and greet." It gives me a chance to assess the student's interests and goals in regard to taking lessons. It also gives the student (and parent, if present), the chance to see if they like my personality and teaching approach. I make no initial assumptions about the student's ability level. Learning an instrument, especially a difficult one like the violin, takes commitment and a positive attitude. I make the journey fun and enjoyable along the way!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have played the violin since I was 10 years old. I participated in orchestra all through school, always first stand. I continued by performing in the Butler University Symphony while attending college. My teachers were members of the Indianapolis Symphony orchestra. I also took two years of independent study with Ms. Hiroko Driver, who was taught by Dr. Shin'ichi Suzuki. I am a member of my musical community, performing in orchestras, musicals, and special events around Indianapolis.
