MY MUSICAL BACKGROUND
I have been playing the violin for 25 years, the guitar for 15, and singing for as long as I can remember. I was classically-trained on violin in the Suzuki method and self-taught in voice and guitar. This means that I offer a unique blend of creativity and structure in my teaching style. I also have a background in dance & theater and I bring body-awareness into my teaching approach as well.
“She has a unique way of teaching and constantly comes up with creative exercises to tackle a particular part of the music that I’m struggling with or to improve my posture to decrease any tension in my hands, neck and shoulders. She is always very calm and encouraging and I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat! ”
“A really great teacher. She created a very relaxed atmosphere which didn’t feel pressuring at all! I decided what tunes I wanted to work on and she was always really happy to help me figure them out. I would recommend her 100% as the perfect balance between professional and relaxed. ”
My teaching philosophy
First and foremost, I believe making music should be fun! For me, music is about creative expression and connecting to each other. I am here to help guide you in learning your instrument in whatever you are excited about: whether it be fiddle music, pop songs, Bach or improvising! Whatever your musical dream is, I am here to support you and share my experience and expertise. My goal as your teacher is to help give you the tools so you feel confident to continue learning on your own (when you no longer need me, I know I have done my job!).
