“Prioritizing a curriculum that is unique to each student, I carefully observe each student's ability to determine the course of study. My teaching philosophy, influenced by my "Grandfather" teacher Ivan Galamian, emphasizes an equal pyramid of technique and musicality. Developing both equally, with technique’s sole purpose to express innate musicality, is essential to achieve the end goal to create artful music.”

“In addition to playing the violin beautifully and loving music, students in my violin studio learn valuable life lessons. My studio is a close-knit community of students and families who interact with me, with each other, with other music organizations, and with various populations we serve while sharing our music. ”
