Violin & Piano Teacher

Hi! I’m a classically trained violinist with over 25 years of playing experience and a degree in Violin Performance from the University of California, Irvine’s Claire Trevor School of the Arts. I’ve worked with students of all ages and levels, from beginners picking up the violin for the first time to more advanced players preparing for auditions and performances. My goal is to help each student build strong technical foundations while developing confidence, musicality, and a genuine love for playing. I specialize in the Suzuki Method, which emphasizes listening skills, positive reinforcement, and steady progress through solid fundamentals. I tailor each lesson to the individual student’s learning style and goals, creating a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel motivated and excited to grow. Whether you’re looking to start your child on their musical journey or refine your own technique, I’d love to help you reach your goals through thoughtful, engaging instruction. I love working with students of all ages and levels- from young beginners picking up the violin for the first time to advanced players looking to refine technique and musicality. My teaching style is supportive, patient, and tailored to each student’s goals, helping them build confidence while developing a lifelong love of music.
