Hi, there! My name is Amos and I can't wait to meet you! I've been teaching private lessons since 2009 and have loved helping my students reach their musical goals, learn new music, and achieve musical independence. I attended Juilliard and earned a master's degree in Violin Performance in 2016. I'm patient and thorough, and my teaching style is adaptable, organized, and fun. I look forward to helping you reach your goals!

Currently accepting new students and I specialize in adult beginners!

I believe that playing the violin should be fun!  I try to maintain a balance of learning new things with learning the music that the student wants to play.  I also try to work with every student to help them stay organized and efficient in the practice room.

Just one lesson in and I feel very encouraged. Amos gave me a very attainable plan for practicing that gives me clear direction and actually makes it fun.  I can’t wait for the next lesson.

Amos is a fantastic instructor who is very patient with you and knowledgeable. I recommend him wholeheartedly as a violin instructor.

Amos was patient and able to break down the steps for learning. I look forward to working with him again
