In addition to performing, I thoroughly enjoy teaching violin and viola to all ages and levels.  I have sixteen years of teaching experience, both privately and through music schools in New England and Hawaii; and I have coached chamber music and led sectionals for Boston Youth Symphony Orchestras as well as the Hawaii Youth Symphonies.  I teach beginning students through the Suzuki program as well as traditional western Classical training/heritage.  I incorporate scales, etude books, and advanced repertory throughout the student’s development.  

I believe in giving each student a strong technical foundation and profound understanding of body mechanics in relation to musical and artistic expression.  Along with traditional string pedagogy, music theory, and Suzuki Method™, I also incorporate fundamentals from both Alexander Technique and The Feldenkrais Method.   I work with each student to develop strong listening skills and a vast understanding of music theory, as well as proficiency in the styles and forms of classical music.  I incorporate these concepts in ways that are easy to understand intellectually and physically for each specific age and talent level, while creating a supportive and encouraging environment.
