Offering musical guidance and instruction for beginners as well as coaching for more experienced players.  

The study of a musical instrument can and should be a joyous endeavor.  Learning to play and read music requires self discipline, determination and a dose of passion.  Learning to play the violin or its cousins, requires all of the above plus a good "ear."   Students under my tutelage will have to PRACTICE, and a recurring theme will be how to practice efficiently and effectively.

I tailor my teaching to the needs of each student.   Together we develop solid and steady right and left arm techniques with a classical foundation.  In addition to the classical approach, our repertoire may include traditional folk styles from around the world, including Celtic (Irish, Scots and Welsh), Old-Time, French-Canadian, Klezmer, Cajun, Bluegrass, Tango and more!
