I have over 4 years of teaching experience with strings and piano. I have played my primary instrument, viola, for over 10 years.

I love to encourage students that quantity doesn’t always beat out quality. That being said, I love a laid back lesson environment where the student can feel comfortable enough to ask questions, and make mistakes so they can learn and do better next time. I have taught kids as young as 4 years old, and adults as old as 50 years old.
