Student Recitals
Recitals take place every winter and spring to showcase each student's hard work in the studio! These recitals are a great opportunity for family and friends alike to come together, celebrate the students’ accomplishments, and appreciate the wonderful music they make. Violinists are also encouraged to give culminating recitals for events such as Suzuki book graduations.
Teaching Philosophy
My biggest goal for my students—whether they become musicians by profession or not—is for them to always find joy in making music, embracing both its challenges and rewards. Because every student is unique, lessons are tailored to their individual needs. Alongside proper technique, music theory, and ear training, students have the flexibility to explore pieces that inspire them once they are at the appropriate skill level. I also encourage my students to engage in musical activities beyond lessons, and many play in their school orchestra, perform for friends/family, busk at the mall, or join community ensembles. Lessons and any supplementary activities they may choose to be involved in all provide the foundation for their lifelong journey with music.
