You already made the right step with choosing the viola, and taking private lessons will not only speed up your personal progress, but will also help you get ahead at your schools and music competitions! Whether you are somebody wanting to learn viola in your own time, or enrolled in a orchestra at your school, I'm positive that you will get amazing results with my lessons!

Like many violin teachers, I love teaching the viola! It's a gorgeous instrument, and I have had the pleasure of playing viola in chamber groups, teaching many young viola students, and collaborative with violists regularly in chamber music settings.

I am a very organized, patient, and friendly teacher. I truly believe everybody has the potential to be a musical person. I love working with beginners and focus on giving them all the tools they need for a good foundation that they can build upon for a lifetime of enjoying music. As a teacher, I am always reading books on violin technique, pedagogy, and looking for new methods/pieces so I can offer a wide array of music to learn. I am a teacher who can offer both structure and freedom to explore your own musical taste.
