I am a dedicated string educator and College Faculty member providing specialized violin and viola instruction. Whether you are a beginner starting your first notes or an advanced player preparing for an audition, I offer a supportive and highly effective approach to learning.
β¨ THE VALUE OF DUAL MASTERβS DEGREES
I hold a Master of Music in Violin Performance and a Master of Music in Violin Pedagogy (the science of how students learn). This dual expertise ensures that every lesson is rooted in healthy ergonomics and builds a "bulletproof" technical foundation.
π PROVEN SUCCESS & LEADERSHIP
My students consistently distinguish themselves in All-County and Maryland All-State ensembles, frequently securing leadership positions and top honors. I offer specialized coaching for:
*All-County & All-State Audition Prep
*Youth Orchestra Auditions (FRYO, PVYO, MCYO, etc.)
*Conservatory & College Admissions
π» THE SUZUKI JOURNEY (BOOKS 1β10)
I am fully Registered in Suzuki Violin Books 1 through 10, providing a seamless curriculum from age 4 through professional-level concertos.
