About
I have been teaching privately for over 20 years. I have a BA in Music Education from the College of New Jersey and taught in the schools as well. During that time I honed my skills on the violin and viola. I am currently focusing on giving private instruction, however, I do also teach a few classes at a private school in the Princeton area.
I specialize in teaching and playing stringed instruments with cello being my primary instrument. I also played trombone starting in elementary school and continued into college, playing in the concert, marching and jazz bands. I started playing bass in a rock and roll and blues band over 20 years ago and we are still together.
Needless to say, I have quite the diverse background, and I believe this helps me to be the best musician and educator that I can be. Yet, I still feel like I am always learning and looking for new ways to teach. Every student is different and you need to be able to adapt and experiment with different ways to teach the same thing. In the end, it is always about helping the student to succeed!
