I love fostering students joy for playing. Helping students discover their inner musical voice is one of my favorite and most rewarding aspects of teaching.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
With over a decade of giving private lessons, I teach from my own experience, intuition and process. Working alongside my students, we aim to develop technique that fosters longevity and supports their inner expressivity. I am dedicated to tailoring my teaching method for the individual student, resulting in healthy, balanced musicians.
I am Suzuki trained and influenced pedagogically by Karen Tuttle, Stephen Wyrczynski, Mimi Zweig, and Paul Rolland.
