And bowing!

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. My students learn to practice efficiently and effectively.



I tailor my teaching to the needs of each student. My self-styled eclectic method focuses on breath and grounding as we study our basic techniques. 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!
