From a recent "first lesson" parent: Thank you for an awesome first lesson and for even spending extra time. That's how you can tell someone has passion for what they teach.

I am a tenured member of the Grammy Award–winning Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. I offer inspiring violin and viola lessons for enthusiastic intermediate and advanced players, whether they are pursuing careers in music or playing simply for the enjoyment music brings to their life.

I started Suzuki violin lessons at the age of 3 and went on to receive a Bachelor of Music degree from UW-Milwaukee. In following years, I did post graduate work at Alverno College and went on to complete Suzuki teacher training in Suzuki Books 1-4.
