Clara’s teaching goal is to nurture beautiful humanity and beautiful talent. She founded & directs a Suzuki program called Detroit Youth Volume, where half of her students lessons are supported 100% by community-based fundraising. In additional to classical training, DYV brings in local & visiting artists for special Detroit-centric music workshops. These collaborations develop positive cultural identities in her students as Detroiters and as youth of color (applicable to 65% of DYV). Clara is also coach of “Growing Equitable Music Studios”, a virtual Course of Action for music teachers who believe every child can change the world.
