Teacher expertise and credentials
Since 2000, I have been playing violin. I have studied violin for 18 years under master teachers and have held leadership positions in various orchestras.
I started teaching private violin lessons in high school and continue to teach students how to master their instrument.
My main method of teaching is through the Suzuki method along with song choices to fit her students interests. Since I have experience in classical training, fiddling, and electric violin, I can teach to a wide variety of interests and I love asking students for their song favorites!
