My Teaching PhilosophyIt is my goal as a teacher to discover the individualized learning style of each student to best work with them and their families to help them improve as students and musicians. I believe in developing strong technical basics while nurturing the student's love of music. For classical lessons I teach a Suzuki based curriculum with supplemental fiddle and folk music to give the student a diversified education. Fiddle lessons are based on learning by ear with support of online recordings to help practice at home. Sheet music is used to support music reading and theory development.

My Background
I was raised in the Sierra Foothills of California and started teaching as part of my 8th grade project at Live Oak Waldorf School. In my more than 12 years of teaching, I have taught through my own private studio, as Strings Specialist at Yuba River Charter School, as faculty at Crescendo Academy of Music, and as Graduate Assistant at Western Michigan University. I hold a Master of Music Degree in Violin Performance from Western Michigan University and a Bachelor of Music degree in Violin Performance from University of the Pacific, Conservatory of Music. In addition to my more than 16 years of classical training and performance, I have also studied Scottish fiddle with Alasdair Fraser and other traditional music with masters from around the world.
