Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a professional singer-songwriter and violinist residing in Los Angeles, CA. I hold a Bachelors from the University of North Texas and my concentration was music. I have experience playing in orchestral settings, chamber groups, recording in the studio, and accompanying Latin-Grammy winning artists. I have also written music for major record labels- Universal Music. I have 10 years of experience giving private lessons, working as an instructor for string conferences, summer camps, working at a public school, and as a judge for music competitions. I have experience with several music genres including Classical, Regional Mexican, Pop, Electronic, and Rock.I currently work in Los Angeles teaching Elementary & Middle School as well as a Director of LaMusArt Mariachi Ensemble & Instructor for Violin/String Ensemble.

I love working with students of all ages and backgrounds. I will help you focus on reaching your full potential learning a new instrument or continuing your studies on the violin. We will perfect your technique, note-reading skills, ear training, and music theory. I will create individualized lessons for you catering to your own needs and goals as a student. We will have fun learning different pieces and styles of music while maintaing weekly goals for you to accomplish and grow as a violinist.

I cannot wait to meet you!
