I offer specialized violin and music theory lessons tailored to each student's unique learning style and goals. Throughout my life I have had many different violin and fiddle teachers and have experience a muItitude of teaching methods and musical genres. This has made me highly adaptable to the needs and desires of my students. I started playing the violin when I was four with the Suzuki method, and then switched to Celtic music, and then Scandinavian. I now play baroque violin and am pursuing a masters in baroque violin and composition. I am located in Santa Cruz, CA, but can also teach online. I seek to ensure that all students, from beginner to advanced, receive the attention and expertise needed to excel in their musical journeys. With a passion for teaching and a commitment to excellence, I strive to inspire and cultivate a deep appreciation for music in all my students.

Sight Singing

Sight Singing

As a composer, sight-singing is an integral part of my compositional practice. Although being able to sight-sing is useful for singers, it is also useful for all musicians and composers, because it allows us to look at sheet music and hear it in our heads. This allows me to hear ideas in my head and then write them down. Consequently, I still practice sight-singing every morning.
