Subjects Taught Violin, Viola
About Me
I teach students as young as 7 and all ability levels, whether you're just starting out, have been playing for a while, or are considering switching from violin to viola. My students don't just learn to copy my playing, but learn how progress and problem-solve when they're practicing on their own.
I am currently pursuing a Master of Music in viola with a concentration in string pedagogy and a graduate of the New England Conservatory and Tufts University double degree program with degrees in Viola performance and English Literature. At NEC I studied with Roger Tapping, Carol Rodland, and Kim Kashkashian. My summer festival experience includes Aspen Music Festival, Bowdoin International Music Festival, and the Heifetz Institute, where I also worked with Jeffrey Irvine, John Graham, and James Dunham.

Meghan O, Feedback for Dorothy
Dorothy has fabulous teacher. She is easy to learn from and doesnt get anoyed when you dont get things on the first try. This is great because as an adult I dont learn as quickly.
Also, I am a college student (age 20) and she works with my school and work schedules.
I really cant say how pleased I am with the quality of her teaching.

Amy F, First 3 weeks...
Thank you for what you have done for Mechelle so far. She enjoys coming to lessons and feels very comfortable working with you. And it's nice to know that she's getting the attention and help that she needs to be successful in learning the viola.
