FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My rate is $60 per hour plus $5 for driving to your home.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a bachelor's and a master's degree in violin performance from Butler University and the University of Oklahoma, respectively. I've been teaching for about 7 years. I've held positions with the Butler Community Arts School, Norman Music Institute, the Sooner Strings Project, and El Sistema Oklahoma while completing my degrees as well as holding my own private studio. I am now on the faculties of Bertrand's Music School in Pasadena and Cornerstone Music Conservatory on the west side.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I've always been interested in teaching, but studying string pedagogy with my violin professor in graduate school solidified my passion for it. Nothing makes me happier than watching a student master a new technique.
