Class Experience
In this baroque style coaching learners will play a piece of their music from the baroque and I will help them with the stylistic aspects of their playing. We will go over topics that will include some of the following: - Bowing Style - Up vs Down bow - Articulation of short vs long notes - Releasing notes - Ornamentation - Differences between a baroque and modern violin and bow - Affect and gesture * Learners should have at least 1-2 years of violin/viola lesson experience. (The Bach Minuets in Suzuki Book 1 are a good starting point.) If you are unsure about whether your learner is ready for the class feel free to send me a message.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of how to play their baroque music in a historically informed style. This will help them express the spirit and character of the baroque pieces they are performing.

I teach violin lessons and classes on various topics relating to music and performing in a baroque style. Being Suzuki Book 1 & 2 registered, I have experience teaching violin from the very beginning and have taught online through Outschool since May of 2020. In teaching music I hope to deepen people's understanding of music of various styles and give them the tools to understand and play music that will enrich their lives in the long term.
I have a Bachelor's of Music in Violin Performance from the University of North Texas and am currently working towards my Master's in Baroque Violin at Indiana University. When not teaching I regularly with professional period instrument ensembles including the Dallas Bach Society, Lumedia MusicWorks, Bloomington Bach Cantata Project and the Oklahoma Bach Choir.
In addition to my musical pursuits, I can speak German, am an avid home cook, and happen to be a triplet.
