I have a private Suzuki violin studio at my home in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn; I also teach violin at the Brooklyn Conservatory and am the Violin Department Head there. My goal is to help every student become a successful and independent learner. I am trained in books 1-6 and 9-10 of the Suzuki method and continuing my training all the time. I admire and seek to carry out the child-centered principles of Suzuki’s “mother-tongue” philosophy: every lesson is joyful, with bite-sized teaching segments tailored to the individual child, and where every child feels they can. I want my students to feel seen, appreciated and loved. Together we celebrate the unique parent-child bond.

Having spent over a decade teaching violin in public schools, charter schools, independent schools and music schools, I know what it means to work hard for my students and I bring a depth and breadth of experience to my teaching that allows me to effectively teach all children. I love being available to my families for questions during and after the lesson. It’s a true joy and a privilege to help guide children and families as they navigate growing up. Whether your child wants to take music training all the way to a career or you want to instill in them a lifelong appreciation for music as a hobby, they have a place in my studio.

I teach out of my home on a tree-lined street in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn in a funny old brownstone, and currently have openings for children interested in learning violin, ages 3+.
