TEACHING STATEMENT
As your teacher, I hope to provide you resources to help discover what your personal journey will be with music. Every student is unique and has their own journey with their violin. I like to honor that journey and help push you in the right direction for self discovery! I listen to what specifics you want to learn as the student. I will give you the most rounded perspective.

With a beginner, we would learn how to read music; how to physically play the violin; aurally train for pitch recognition; and continue to shape your intonation. For intermediate, we would develop those concepts more in depth with complexity. Exploring phrase structure and theory analysis. Advanced students would work on bow articulations, phrasing, theory and how to personally interpret music with applied tools of articulation and tone color development. I also can teach improvisation; composition; music in technology, and music history. I also enjoy talking and exploring the rich repertoire that has been created for us by amazing composers!
