I am a professional violinst and violist with a passion for musical theatre and chamber music!
Originally from the Seattle area, my love of music has taken me all over the world. I received my BMus and LRAM from the Royal Academy of Music in the UK, where I studied, lived, and worked for 7 years. I was a member of London Sinfonietta Academy's inaugural year as the sole violist, as well as a rotating principal of Southbank Sinfonia in 2012. Additionally in 2012, I was part of the on-stage string quartet for the West End's production of Hymn by Alan Bennett. Other groups I performed with are the BBC Concert Orchestra, BBC Philharmonic, and the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra.
Since returning to Seattle, I have continued to harnass my love for musical theatre as a violinist/violist at the 5th Avenue Theatre and Village Theatre. I enjoy a diverse music career and am always eager to accept opportunities that inspire and develop my skill sets.
When I'm not playing music, I am persuing a professional diploma in UX design, showing Glen of Imaal Terriers at dog shows, and exploring the art and wonder my city has to offer.
I would love to meet you!
I am a teacher who believes one singular methodology or curriculum can't, and shouldn't, be applied to all students. Everyone thinks, feels, and learns differently and it's really important to me to find what works for each of my students!
During our initial lesson, we will start off by chatting about what drew you to this instrument, what goals you are wanting to achieve, and what kind of time committment you can devote to weekly practice. I will use all of these elements, as well as what I learn from getting to know you, to tailor a curriculum that I believe will help you achieve your goals in a way that works for you and your busy life!
I'm a neurodivergent individual with a lot of empathy and compassion for diverse thinking and processing styles. I'm passionate about fostering your love for music and its abilitity to be a voice of expression for you. As such, I will constantly change and adapt my teaching style and curriculum to match your ever-changing needs!
I am excited to work with students of all ages and skill levels!See more
