I strongly believe that, if every child would be provided with an ideal environment, would gain extraordinary ability. There are no exceptions. No one can tell how able man is by the nature. What is known is the ability that is spoiled or developed. It cannot be denied that most children speak their native languages beautifully by learning about 3000-4000 words by age 5 or 6. Nothing can clearer demonstrate of the original power of the human mind. Through the years of studying and teaching music I realized that this is the most important concept for developing each kid's talent, to increase his or her ability to the maximum. Therefore I am combining the great methods of teaching violin. The Suzuki method and the Russian school method. Suzuki method helps at the earliest stage of playing an instrument and I am using later Russian school method for more advanced period of studying.

Hello! I've been teaching violin and piano for 10+ years to students of all ages. I love helping beginners learn about the fun world of music, and helping intermediate/advanced students hone their skills.

I have a minor in music from Brigham Young University and have played in many different orchestras. I was All State in orchestra for 4 years during high school, and was concertmaster of the Brigham Young Symphony Orchestra. I also played with the Bradley University orchestra in Peoria, IL.

I am very patient and pay close attention to see what works best for each individual student. I love to have students try music from different styles, and also teach basic music theory and ear training skills.

If a student desires, I also like to get them involved in group playing opportunities, and hold periodic performance recitals.

I offer in person or video lessons, whichever you prefer.
