Hello everyone! I have just moved to LA from NYC and I am currently living the gig life teaching violin and tutoring any and all academic subjects! I love being around students and helping them feel confident about themselves and their skills. I promise to bring positivity, optimism, and excitement to our lessons.

Back in NYC, I was a classroom teacher. I taught in the NYC DOE for two years and then taught Middle School History at Horace Mann School in Riverdale, NY. I absolutely loved being with students each and every day and sharing fun memories together while we learned and grew as people! While I was teaching academics back in New York, I always kept up my violin skills. Violin has always an important part of my life even as Academics took a priority. I frequently played weddings, school shows, and was in a few orchestras as well. In my time in New York, I also spent lots of time teaching violin at Songcatchers, Inc. and even ran an Early Childhood Violin Camp!

Now that I am here in LA; I plan to continue sharing my enthusiasm for learning with as many students as I can.

Music

Violin

Violin

Growing up, my family was all about music. My mom was a musician and my 5 brothers and sisters and I all played instruments together. It was a wild and musical household! I started the violin when I was 6 and never stopped! I have taught violin basically my whole life, starting at Songcatchers, Inc in my hometown of New Rochelle. I even ran a violin camp for early childhood violin there (So precious!) I then moved to NYC to become a classroom academic teacher and continued playing violin for school shows, wedding gigs, and church gigs. Now that I have made the move across the country to LA, I continue to play wedding/church gigs and have been in a few amateur orchestras but my true love is teaching and working with students. I especially love working with beginners as I get to introduce them to the wonders of the awesome instrument. I am also able to help with High School and Middle School level violin orchestra repertoire or skills. I was a huge orchestra player back in my school and college days so I have played most of the basic orchestra repertoire and truly enjoy helping students work on their parts so they can be confident in their groups. Anyway, violin has always been a crucial part of my life and I love to share that with others :)
