"I love teaching and coaching young musicians as well as working with formed groups who are non-professional amateurs. I believe in inspiring players to reach their full potential and to find enjoyment in the art of making music."
Lessons are conducted in my studio in San Francisco.
I offer training for beginners on violin or viola, as well as for students with previous training.
I teach Suzuki Book 1 and 2 string method, and I help you learn and establish good playing habits and techniques.
I offer coaching for advanced players, ensembles and amateurs.
Classes are individually tailored to each student or group, regardless of age or ability level.
For beginners: I teach simple music theory, rhythm,
tuning, holding the instrument and bow.
For developing players: bow techniques,
good fingerings, scales, vibrato.
COACHING
I coach for the Santa Rosa Symphony Youth Orchestra, and provide mentoring for viola sectionals at Sonoma State University.
I am a Summer Camp Ensemble Coach at the California Youth Symphony, and I offer coaching at the Sun Valley Music Camp in Idaho when I participate in the Summer and Winter Festivals.
Every student is encouraged to build on previous learning,
to set goals, and to celebrate achievements.
My studio is located in San Francisco’s Richmond District, near Geary Blvd, less than a mile from Park Presidio Blvd.
