A Bit About Me
"She gives a good understanding of music overall, not just violin"Â - Anna I.
​
I began playing when I was 12, after many people said it was too late for me to learn violin. I kept learning, and the more I learned, the more I wanted to learn.
Music, and the people who make it, fascinates me, and I want to spend my life sharing my love of music.
I have a wealth of knowledge about string instruments, thanks to two years working at Hammond Ashley Violins. If you have questions about how or where to get a violin, I can help you!
I have been teaching professionally since 2011, and have taught people from different backgrounds, races, religions, countries, and cognitive ability. I believe that ANYONE can learn to play a stringed instrument.
