I started teaching music lessons in 1998. I have a music and education degree from William Jewell College. I teach piano, guitar, ukulele, violin, and voice.

I feel I'm good at working with an individual's strengths and weaknesses to bring out their personal best. I strive for optimal technical training, balanced with the recognition that violin playing should also be rewarding & fun musically. I've taught in the KC area since 1978.
