About
I have over 50 years of teaching experience including working with all age groups, and hold two degrees from the College/Conservatory of Music. I have a deep passion for sharing the world of music which encompasses much more than simply learning to play the instrument. This involves integrating pertinent knowledge of music theory and music history into lessons to help students understand what the composer was expressing.
Everything! The joy of seeing my students light up at mastering a new skill and their pride at learning how to express themselves through music is the most rewarding aspect of my life! Music is truly the language of the soul.

Over 50 years of experience working with all ages. I hold degrees in both piano and violin performance and education.
