About

“The only reason for mastering technique is to make sure the body does not prevent the soul from expressing itself.” -La Meri

I’ve been playing violin for over 20 years, and one of the greatest rewards is passing along all I’ve learned to my students! I’m here to help you reach your goals and cheer you on along the way, whether you want to simply have fun learning a new skill or you want to work intensely toward a performance or audition. I care deeply about providing a safe and engaging learning environment to help my students thrive. I would love to teach you or your child!

Distinguishing features:

~I hold degrees from top music schools where I studied with violin teachers known as among the best in the country. I hold dual master’s degrees in violin performance and chamber music from the University of Michigan where I studied with Colburn alum Danielle Belen, winner of the 2008 Sphinx Competition and former teaching assistant to Robert Lipsett. I earned my bachelor’s degree in violin performance from Oberlin Conservatory with Juilliard alum David Bowlin, winner of the 2003 Washington International Competition and founding member of the International Contemporary Ensemble.

~I’m classically trained but have experience performing pop music and other genres as well.

~I provide a holistic and well-rounded teaching approach as I’ve taken classes and read books on topics such as brain science and learning, physical wellness for musicians, string pedagogy (which included study of the Suzuki approach), Baroque violin, and fiddle music and improvisation.

~I invite my students to send me recordings in between lessons to help keep motivation and momentum up (at no additional cost).

I’m happy to teach you virtually from anywhere in the world. If you’re in the Washington DC area, I would love to teach you in person! I am located in Logan Circle (zip code 20005), or I may be able to travel to your location for an additional fee.

I would love to hear from you!
