Introduction: Hi! I'm Michael and I am a violinist and composer available to perform at events and teach lessons.
PERFORMING
I am a violinist, composer, and arranger who presents classical, popular, and anime music, as well as my original compositions, in a wide variety of settings, including concert halls, celebrations, and weddings. I collaborate with musicians from Philadelphia and most commonly perform as solo violin, violin/cello duo, or violin/harp duo.
My goal as a musician is to contribute a tailored musical selection for every event. I am able to meet the needs of a wide range of occasions and would love to have the opportunity to collaborate with you in making your event a truly spectacular experience.

- I have event insurance coverage through Insurance Canopy.
TEACHING
In my teaching, I emphasize efficient, goal-oriented practice, and provide a strong technical foundation while always keeping musicality and expression in mind. I encourage my students to develop problem-solving skills that will ultimately allow them to create their own interpretations about a piece of music. I believe that each student has a different learning style and, with this knowledge, I design a program of study specifically for them.
Learning music is all about tackling technical or musical problems in many different ways until we find an approach that works for you. As multi-instrumentalist who also writes music, I can offer many different perspectives on a single issue and draw from a wide range of knowledge that serves me in my daily creative pursuits.
