- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to be very flexible in my teaching style in order to accommodate diversity in students' prior musical training. For new students, I prioritize proficiency in note reading, rhythm counting, posture, and basic ear training. I provide each student with my unique set of lessons books and any additional materials I would consider helpful. As lessons progress, I assign graduated repertoire to both challenge and inspire the students, according to their individual needs and interests.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have achieved my Master's of Music Degree in Viola Performance from the University of Arizona's "Fred Fox" School of Music. I have been teaching violin and viola since 2010, through private lessons, Tucson Junior Strings, Tucson Summer Music, Tucson Symphony Women's Association, Allegro School of Music, Prince William Youth Orchestra, as a guest clinician at public orchestra programs, and many more.
