My approach is positive, encouraging, and deeply intuitive. I work to create a clear and focused environment where students can move beyond the mechanics of the violin to treat music as a living language. My style is interactive and energetic, designed to help you master not only the notes you are playing, but also to develop the ability to listen deeply and translate your feeling and ideas into a unique sound. Drawing from decades of understanding, I tailor my guidance to meet each student’s unique artistic style. I work best with passionate students over the age of 7 who are ready to find their voice and become the artist they were meant to be.

For beginner students, I draw from Essential Elements and the Suzuki method to establish a strong foundation in the basics of intonation, rhythm and sight-reading. As students continue to grow, I begin incorporating a mix of technical etudes and increasingly challenging repertoire to expand their skillset and develop their sense of style. Late intermediate to advanced-level students will focus on craft and musicality, deepening understanding of the language of music to truly allow their ‘inner musician’ to emerge. Over the years, my students have achieved high marks on musical examinations such as ABRSM, secured top prizes in competitions, and passed auditions for school and youth orchestra programs.
