I am a New York based musician offering tutoring in Violin, Viola, Music Reading, Music Theory, Music History, and Ear Training. As an experienced and dedicated educator, I am passionate about sharing the joy of music and helping students unlock their full potential. Whether you are a beginner eager to learn or an advanced player seeking to refine your skills, I am here to guide you on your musical journey!

I began my studies on the violin over 20 years ago, pursuing it through college to earn a Master’s Degree in Violin Performance from Roosevelt University. With 8 years of teaching experience, I have worked with students of all ages and levels, from toddlers learning Twinkle Twinkle to adults picking up a new skill, and everything in between. I teach both in the classroom (school orchestra) and private one-on-one lessons. I tutor many students in school orchestras, helping them with their music for class. For most of my private violin students, I use the Suzuki Method, for which I registered Teacher Training through Units 4, supplementing with scales, etudes, and fun pop/folk music.

I also tutor academic music topics including college level/AP Music Theory, History, and Ear Training. As an avid student, I always excelled at these topics and pass on my strategies to my students.

During my undergraduate and Master's degrees, I completed numerous classes on Music History and Music Theory with high grades, gaining in-depth knowledge about the music written in each historical period. As part of the coursework, I surveyed the major works published by influencial composers in various eras and regions. I learned to differentiate the compositional styles of composers as well as some of the theory that they incorporated in their music.
