The violin is a wonderful instrument that can enrich and empower a student’s life.

I learned violin through the Suzuki Method at a young age. I was thrilled to be in Denver Young Artists Orchestra for four years which involved two exciting international tours. I was in the Lamont Symphony Orchestra for a year and I’ve taken part in numerous world music projects in Denver. I’ve also demonstrated traditional Middle Eastern violin music at Kent High School and the Colorado Renaissance Festival. My band the Pinkhawks won Best World Music Band in Westword Magazine.

In Spring of 2017 I began seriously studying improvisation through Christian Howes’ Creative Strings Academy and I’m having the time of my life! My students receive an education strongly based in the wonderful Suzuki Method with supplemental folk and improvisational instruction to boost their creative minds. My students are a part of West Denver Suzuki Strings. [/size]
