Music Lessons in Livonia, MI. It's your time.

I teach violin technique clearly and accurately with a specialty in producing a clear, beautiful sound, while also having an agile and free left hand. I teach beginner to advanced students, and all ages are welcomed and invited to start learning.

I write music consistently for guitar, and guitar vocals.

I aim to develop a curriculum based on the students interest, while introducing relevant concepts that will expand their knowledge in a personally gratifying way. I'll offer both technical and abstract explanations of music to encourage each student’s creative instincts and in turn form a more impactful learning experience. I'm very friendly, and elated to share my passion for music with anyone who's interested. I won't judge or discourage you, guitar is fun, social, and fulfilling:) Lets Jam!

Ear training is a critical and valuable music skill to help one develop into a well rounded musician. I teach ear training using the classical training methods I learned at Juilliard. We study intervals, chords, scales, and work on singing simple melodies. I use fixed do solfeggio.

If you are looking for a fiddle teacher who makes learning fun and who also teaches proper fundamentals (such as posture, finger position, bow control, tone, etc.), then I believe I would be a great fit for you. I have noticed that many young fiddle players learn songs quickly, but then come to a halt in their learning because they do not know the proper fundamentals to keep them going. Since I teach from a classical standpoint (I mostly teach classical violin students), I make sure my fiddle students are not just learning fun songs quickly, but are learning them with solid fundamentals. I use the American Fiddle Method, which provides a large number of fun and exciting fiddle tunes.

I can teach you how to identify pitches, sight-sing, and read music.
