Approach: My teaching style is encouraging, positive and fun, giving students regular feedback. I encourage students to really 'hear' what they are playing, so they can experience making the music their own. As a teacher, my strengths are:

• Teaching and polishing the fundamentals of the instrument
• Taking the students beyond the notes on the page and allowing them to play the emotion behind the notes
• Allowing each student to feel comfortable in a performing situation
• Teaching the student how to communicate with the audience

Style: I enjoy teaching classical and popular music. The music and technique I use in lessons are tailored for each student. Ensembles, technique, repertoire and recitals are all used to enthuse and motivate students to learn. I am open to helping students with their school orchestra music as well.

Scheduling: I believe that there needs to be a unique blend with student and teacher. Each perspective student begins with a phone call to gather information regarding the student's needs and desires. Following that is a complementary lesson, giving us a chance to see how we work together. Scheduling lessons is always a life-friendly event.

Experience: I have 30 years of experience in private violin & viola lessons, coaching, ensembles and leading of workshops. I also have 20 years of experience in private piano lessons, coaching and ensembles.
