I have taught violin for ten years and have experience teaching students of various ages and levels. I have worked with beginners, intermediate, advanced, and pre-professional violinists at the conservatory level. I also have experience in music theory and ear training lessons, masterclasses, and chamber coaching. I have studied private studio, classroom, and music theory pedagogy at Juilliard and have developed my own unique technical and musical exercises. My main goal is to spread the joys of music to future generations and to make high-quality musical education accessible. I have had a deep passion for pedagogy for many years and am highly dedicated to my students in my studio. I am currently based in and serve the San Diego County area and additionally offer online lessons internationally over Zoom.
