I’m passionate in helping others in their artistic journey.

I’m a music instructor with over 10+ years of experience in violin/viola pedagogy, chamber music coaching, audition preparation, and orchestral sectionals. I’ve led workshops, masterclasses, and private lessons in both English and French at several Parisian conservatories, music festivals, and youth orchestras. With remote teaching, I have worked with musicians based in Mexico, Japan, Germany, the USA, and more. As a visiting artist-pedagogue, I’ve held classes on contemporary extended techniques and approaching contemporary music.

Student successes include acceptances with scholarship at prestigious music schools (University of Delaware, University of Wisconsin Madison, Depaul University, University of North Texas, etc.) winning positions in several youth orchestras (New York City, Santa Rosa, Chattanooga, etc.), successful auditions for Allstate Orchestra ensembles, soloists with local orchestras, placing in statewide competitions (3rd place at the Chinese Bridge Competition) and earned positions in prestigious summer academies (Credo Chamber Music Festival, Benefic Music Festival, and NYU Summer Strings).

My teaching approach starts with cultivating the love of music. I believe in combining string pedagogical traditions with research in performance psychology to not only develop reliable, healthy technique, but also teach students scientifically proven methods that aid in skill acquisition and developing a positive relationship with performance anxiety. I have studied both in the American and French traditions of music pedagogy and have taken extensive classes in both the USA and in France.

Beyond musical instruction, I have been a panelist for the Illinois High School Allstate Theatre Festival, The Oberlin College + Conservatory, and The Millie Group where I speak about careers in the performing arts.
