About
I am a professional musician with more than 25 years of teaching experience, and 15 years of performance experience in a professional Symphony. I work with all ages and abilities. I offer Violin, Viola, and Cello lessons online and in person. I have a bachelor's degree from UW-Madison, and completed my Suzuki Teacher Training at UW-Stevens Point. I began playing at the age of 6 and attended Suzuki Institutes until I was 18, having the opportunity to study with reputable teachers from all over the world, including Dr. Suzuki.
Learning music is not just a musical experience, it is a human experience. I will work with your preferences, and your style. I will support your growth as a musician and as an individual.
