FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My quotes (both for events and private teaching) are negotiable. I offer a free trial lesson to new private students.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Performer: I can provide you with a list of music options but will also play any song requests if provided well enough in advance. I will always be available to set up calls or talk over text or email prior to the event so that you are always sure we are on the same page. Private lessons: I offer a free trial lesson so the student and I can get to know each other before beginning regular lessons. I can also assist with the rental or purchase of an instrument.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I received a B.A. from Covenant College and graduated with honors from the University of Tennessee with a Masters in Violin Performance. My private teachers include Andrea Bryant, Maria Sampen, Timothy Christie, Don Zimmer, Blair Milton, and Gary Kosloski. I have performed in masterclasses with Mauricio Fuks, Paul Kantor, Alex Kerr, Frank Almond, Lucie Robert, Ilya Kaler, Bill Preucil, and Gerardo Ribeiro. I won and hold a tenured position with the Chattanooga Symphony and Opera, in addition to performing with orchestral groups throughout NYC and the East Coast.
