You’re gonna like the way you fiddle

With almost 30 years of learning and 15 years as a professional educator, performer and recording artist, my teaching style focuses on sharing the lessons I’ve learned both from world-class instructors at Interlochen and Berklee College of Music as well as the life of being a working musician. Through nurturing music literacy at early stages in the violin journey, I aim for my students to enjoy increased preparedness in front of a new page of music, be that for orchestra at school or on the big stage.

There is no supreme music genre, they all hold value. My career on the violin has included Classical, Contemporary Chamber, Filmscore, Celtic, Jazz, Americana, Old-Time, Mariachi and more. To me it is important that my students understand the broad musical palette the violin exists within and I encourage my students to bring up any music they’re interested in exploring.
