Hello! I am a professional music educator and performer.  I have been playing the violin for 35 years.  I am a member of the Las Vegas Philharmonic and teach middle and high school orchestra to 5th-12th-grade students.  Music is my passion!

I started playing the violin in 4th grade.  I attended a traditional Suzuki program from 6th to 12th grade.  I have a Bachelor's and Master's degree in violin performance and an additional Master's degree in Music Education.

I believe you have to start with a good foundation.  We will make sure both your left and right-hand setup is correct.  I use scales and etudes to work on flexibility, tone, intonation, and many other technical elements of playing.  I use the Suzuki repertoire for classical pieces, and I always let students choose one "fun" piece!
