my thoughts on teaching
I have been very fortunate to have had teachers that have been very invested in me, therefore want only the same for my students.
I strive to teach everyone according to their own learning style and believe in giving consistent weekly lessons.
I currently maintain a small private studio (seven students), lead violin sectionals for MCYO (Maryland Classic Youth Orchestras) and have served on judges panels for competitions in Maryland and Washington D.C.

I teach a traditional method with a strong emphasis on scales and etudes, as well as traditional repertoire. I grew up learning Suzuki violin and also can incorporate some of the Suzuki repertoire into student's learning. Student's come for weekly lessons on a tuition basis, and current students ages range from nine to seventeen.
Having grown up in the Washington DC metro area, I am very familiar with the area's different youth orchestras, festivals, and competitions, having taken part in many of them when I was student.
