Introduction
I teach people how to improve at playing the violin! I have had 10 years of experience performing as a professional violinist in an SF based string quartet, Friction Quartet. With this group I have played from the stages of Carnegie Hall to the local bars of SF. I have been lucky to play all kinds of different music throughout my career including classical, pop, jazz and fiddle. I teach all age groups and experience levels. I have taught university, high-school and middle school level student and recently completed a faculty position at the Interlochen Academy of Arts. With my expert advice and hands on instruction I will mentor you in how to bring your playing to the next level.

I have worked with Otis for nearly 7 years in a string quartet. I have seen him teach a wide age range and background of students in many contexts. I have observed Otis giving coachings, lessons, and masterclasses and in all of those settings he flourishes. His teaching style is dynamic, adaptive, and creative. He is very responsive to a student’s needs, and his expertise is shared in a compassionate and patient way. When a tactic may not be resonating with the student, Otis will deftly try fresh approaches. His creative thinking and insight is uniquely rich and engaging, and I highly recommend Otis as a teacher for all ages and levels of violin playing.

I’ve been colleagues with Otis for 7 years and he has been completely professional while always showing love and compassion for others. I have the utmost respect for his musicianship and would trust him with my life! He’s a great friend and I recommend him wholeheartedly.
