My primary instrument is guitar, which I've played for about 25 years in many different bands, styles, and genres. I studied music and classical guitar at University of Central Florida, and during that time I also helped teach violin to a class of third graders. I'm not a pro violinist, but I have plenty of experience working with novice players, helping them develop proper technique, sight reading, ear training, and other skills needed to advance to the next level.

I teach beginner and intermediate violin students helping them develop their bow technique and intonation.

I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of reading, theory and performance skills. I specialize in classical music.

My teaching programs vary according to the level of the student, and the goal he or she has set for him/herself, be it as a support to a school educational program or a personal love for music and/or the violin that seeks to develop itself into a practice.

I have over two decades of continuing professional performance experience in Classical solo violin, and have taught masterclasses in six continents. Though my expertise is in Classical violin, I draw from many influences, to many of which I was exposed in my tenure as the presenter of a TV program in Japan, "Untitled Music," the Guinness Book of World Records longest ever running Classical music show. There, I spoke and interviewed guests from many different genres in concert-style settings, as well as periodically performing with them. In my teaching, I stress efficiency of practice, musical authenticity, and open-mindedness.

I have a very hands on approach and many different fun methods to achieve goals. The most important thing is achieving a beautiful sound but also enjoy doing it.
