Your viola lessons will be focused upon helping you reach your goals, learn viola technique, and explore music of interest to you taught by an experienced music teacher.

I'm a graduate student at the Juilliard School and I specialize in helping beginner, intermediate, and advanced players develop great ears, good hand-eye coordination, and (if you need it) learning how to read music! I've taught over a dozen students ranging in age from 7 to 50, both in violin and viola!

I use the Karl Flesch and Galamian Scales systems to help you build better intonation, and I'm very flexible in teaching repertoire!

I have been teaching violin and viola for a few years now. And when I was in high school, I would help the orchestra teacher in teaching/leading sections (violin and viola) until individuals would feel comfortable playing on their own as well as in the orchestra. I prefer to teach viola as it is my main instrument that I’ve been playing for 13 years now. I am very patient with ones learning and I would love to teach you too!

I teach all levels of students: from the introduction to the instrument, technique, and repertoire, to advanced students, preparing for entrance exams into high school, college, and professional auditions.
