I teach students of all ages who are interested in cultivating a creative and well-rounded approach to playing the violin.Whether you are interested in classical repertoire, fiddle and folk styles, improvising, or composition, I tailor lessons to your musical goals.

 

As a teacher, I believe that anyone, at any age or ability can learn to play an instrument at a high level. I teach to develop independence, confidence, and self discovery in my students, while maintaining a strong foundation in technical ability and knowledge of the instrument. I encourage my students to be strong thinkers, meticulous problem solvers, and fearless explorers.

​

I hold certifications in the Suzuki Method as well as Creative Ability Development (CAD), which uses improvisation to as a tool to help students find their own voice.  I have held teaching positions at NYU Steinhardt, Thirdstreet Music School Settlement, and Lucy Moses.​

​

I currently have space in my studio in Ridgewood, Queens for new violin students.

​

If you are a teacher looking to incorporate improvisation and creativity into your teaching, I offer teacher training for instructors of any instrument.
