I have been teaching violin and viola for close to 20 years.  I have recently relocated from the Detroit area.  I have a passion for teaching young individuals music.  I love when a student is able to connect with the music and totally understand it. 

I received my Bachelor and Master's in violin performance from the University of Redlands, in Redlands, California.  I also received my doctoral degree from Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, California.  

I have performed throughout California, Michigan and now, Florida.  Below you will see my experiences:
