I love working with students to give them a strong musical education through violin playing. Personally, I have been a part of many  musical productions, including the National Repertory Orchestra as well as community and festival orchestras. I have had extensive chamber music coaching with the Tokyo String Quartet and the American String Quartet. I hold a Masters in Music in Violin from Yale University, a BFA from the State University of New York and a Suzuki Pedagogy Certification from the University of Denver. Though my own violin training was traditional, I witnessed the benefits of the Suzuki Method as a parent as I watched my daughters become very proficient string players. This experience led me to pursue a Suzuki Pedagogy Certification at DU and become a Suzuki teacher myself. I enjoy motivating and inspiring my students by customizing their repertoire; I combine the Suzuki methodology with each students’ other musical interests, from show tunes to pop songs or even their favorite video game music. I currently teach at my private studio in Louisville and teach group lessons at Primavera Place.
