WHY STUDY WITH ME?

I incorporate the knowledge gained from my doctoral dissertation studies in the field of Sports Psychology into my teaching at every level. High-level performance under pressure is the common goal among many students, and I apply my teaching methods to develop and increase control of muscular and mental functions, accuracy, precision, discipline, mental awareness, and overall coordination in violin performance. 

STUDENT BENEFITS

  • Contact me between lessons via text or email for lesson-related inquiries.

  • Performance & audition opportunities for scholarships, music festivals/programs, orchestras, chamber groups, and competitions.

  • Performance evaluations including theory & ear training.

  • Regular Studio Class Recitals

  • Digital copies of my annotated sheet music

I am an active member of Music Teachers Association of California (MTAC), American String Teacher Association (ASTA), and the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM). These are statewide and internationally recognized programs which provide a standard of curriculum requiring students to participate in annual evaluation and receive a written musical performance assessment. Students also complete a written theory exam, including an ear training component. My students also earn numerous accolades, such as concertmaster and title positions in: Colburn Chamber and Los Angeles Youth Orchestras, Santa Monica High School Chamber Orchestra, Idyllwild Music Festival Symphony and Chamber Orchestras, Interlochen Music Festival, Honor Orchestra of America, and Santa Monica High School Symphony & Chamber Orchestra, Palisades High School Symphony, Grand Prize in the Fifth International Calibri Music Competition, Westside Committee of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Student Scholarships, and Idyllwild Arts Academy Scholarships.
