I am a violinist and violist with over fifteen years experience working with students of all ages and levels.
My approach to teaching is to help the student acquire a solid foundation of technical skills which they can readily apply to their music pieces.
I patiently ensure that the learner's use of the body is relaxed and efficient, concepts are well understood and that skills are thoroughly learned.
I use a combination of Suzuki, Sassmannshaus, and traditional method books, and I tailor the lesson materials according to each student's needs.
Most importantly, I make sure they play with a beautiful sound, and that music-making for the student is fun!
My love for music and the violin and viola extends beyond my own playing. The ability to impart my knowledge and experience and help my students grow in their musical journey is something that greatly excites me. I also believe in the value of having music in our lives. This has fueled my over fifteen years’ experience of teaching violin and viola to learners of all ages and levels.
Whether you are an adult looking to discover or rediscover your musical side, or a young beginner about to begin your musical journey, or an advanced student hoping to further your development, I am happy to help you along the way.
