About
I studied violin and musicology in the US and Spain and teach students of all ages and levels. Whether you're just starting or you are preparing for college auditions, I can help you!
I love the process of teaching the students how to think for themselves and giving them tools to solve their technical problems and be able to express their feelings.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First, I ask what their goals with music are, not everybody wants the same! And then design a plan to get us there. Sometimes some technical work is needed, maybe a little music theory will help, or perhaps we can start right away with pieces!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a bachelor's in violin performance from the Royal Conservatory of Music in Granada, Spain, a bachelor's in musicology from the University of Granada and a master's degree from the University of Missouri.

How did you get started teaching?
I started preparing students to take conservatory auditions while in college and then had a full studio in Spain before moving to the US. When I was doing my masters I became a teacher in the Missouri String Project, working with children aged 7-9.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with students of all ages and levels, from 3 year-olds who had never seen a violin to college students working on orchestra auditions. I also teach a large number of adult students, who require a different approach, and I enjoy that very much.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
My last online student recital. They all worked hard and received the support of their peers. Even I played a little piece for them!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I would recommend choosing someone with a good education and experience that can really work with you.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Defining what their needs are and where they really are!
