Lessons

Private lessons are the center of my teaching practice. Whether a student is just beginning or has years of experience, lessons are designed to support deep, sustainable artistic and intellectual growth.

  • I teach violin, piano, and composition.

  • My studio includes students of many ages and levels, from beginners to advanced students seeking depth and long-term growth.

  • My teaching is shaped by sensitive listening and careful emotional attunement to how each student learns over time. Rather than following one fixed method, my lessons focus on developing awareness and understanding in a way that feels personal to each student.

    I place a strong emphasis on tone, imagination, and physical ease. I create an environment where students feel supported rather than pressured. Progress grows most naturally when students are encouraged to remain curious, take risks, and build confidence from within.

  • I teach both in person from my private studio in Towson, Maryland, and online, depending on a student’s needs and location. We can discuss what format makes the most sense during an initial conversation.

  • You’re invited to use the contact form. We’ll begin with a brief conversation to see whether my studio is a good fit for your goals

What lessons focus on

While each student’s path is different, lessons commonly explore:

  • Sound production, tone color, and physical ease

  • Technique as a means of expression rather than an end in itself

  • Interpretation and imagination

  • Listening skills, analytic awareness, and critical thinking

  • Confidence, curiosity, and long-term humanistic growth
