I enjoy bringing the beauty and excitement of orchestral stringed instruments to children. By learning a musical instrument, people learn respect and love of the arts, creativity, responsibility, time management and perseverance. They also gain confidence and sense of self while they develop as musicians to be able to perform music they enjoy. I look forward to working with each student to help them improve and advance at their pace while having fun! I encourage them to set short and long term goals, as well as explore different genres of music and performance styles. My students are encouraged to practice regularly, perform with their school or community ensembles, take risks by auditioning and performing with advanced ensembles, and keep a growth mindset.
