Hey there explorer!

So you thought the violin is only meant to play Classical music? Think again!
With over 13 years of experience in improvisation in many different musical styles on the violin, I will show you the methods to explore and teach yourself any type of musical style you'd wish to play!

With a focus on Biomechanics, sound production, and fundamental technique-I have found that my teaching style lends itself well to remote learning.

The only requirements for studying with me, are that you are willing to practice your instrument away from our lessons, that you respond to my weekly check-in email (that is crafted for each student individually, memes included free), and that you never cancel a session within 24 hours unless its a true emergency. I am a very practical teacher, and will work with your life as fluidly as I approach the violin.
