Heartbeat Violin Studio
About
I teach all levels of student. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced performer, I would be happy assist you with your needs. I started performing in a chamber orchestra when I was in first grade and enjoyed it ever since. Eventually I decided to pursue a music degree in Violin Performance at Baylor University where I had the opportunity to be the concertmaster and tour in Europe. I also obtained a Master of Music degree at Rice University. During my studies there, I was honored to join the Shepherd School Symphony for a Carnegie Hall debut in 2014. In the meantime, I started teaching in grad school and had fallen in love with it. It matters to me to help youngsters nurture a love for classical music and realize their dreams. In 2015-2017, I held the Teaching Fellow position at University of North Texas where I was completing my doctorate.
I really enjoy teaching. After graduating with a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Violin Performance, I decided to open my own studio in Burleson TX. I would like help people who are music lovers to realize their potentials on a musical instrument and more importantly, to reach their goals as both a learner and a performer.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure you know what you would like to accomplish in learning. Whether you are learning for entertainment, for hobby, or for profession, always have a short-term goal in mind.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
1. Do you own a violin? If not, make a decision on purchasing or renting.
2. Are you opposed to performing? If you are, you have to overcome the fear of exposing yourself in public. The more you perform, you more likely you will play better.
