About Me
Born in Connecticut, I started studying violin at 6 years old and immediately fell in love with music! Growing up, I would often perform recitals in New York and compete at various international music competitions. After high school, I moved to Houston to study at Rice University's Shepherd School of Music. During the summers, I was selected to study and perform at the Aspen Music Festival and School as a fellowship recipient. I also was chosen to perform at Carnegie Hall as a member of the New York String Orchestra.After obtaining my Bachelors degree in Violin Performance, I then moved to NYC to attend New York University. While completing my Masters degree, I also taught violin lessons as an adjunct faculty member at NYU. I frequently performed with orchestras across New York, such as the New York Pops and the Orchestra of St. Lukes. After completing my degree, I was then asked to tour the country with the critically acclaimed Broadway production Miss Saigon! Following the tour, I decided to become a true Texan and move back to Houston to start my own private violin studio. I can't wait to teach lessons in this wonderful city I'm proud to call home!

Violin and Viola lessons for beginner - advanced playersI offer in person and online lessons in violin and viola. I am based in Neukölln, Berlin.
I have taught violin and viola in the UK for leading national organisations including Opera North, In harmony and Orchestras for All. I have over 10 years of private and school based teaching experience and have taught students from aged 4 to adults. I also ran an outreach music and arts project in the UK delivering music and art workshops in schools and art galleries as well as online, the project was recognised with two national awards from Deutsche Bank and UnLtd. I have led and conducted school string ensembles and set up beginner string programs for Harrogate Music School, Cardiff Young Strings and The Strings Club, Birmingham.
My teaching style incorporates aspects of Dalcroze and Kodaly methodology as well as improvisation and collaborative composition. I develop a bespoke approach alongside each student to ensure they are able to get the most out of their lessons and make lessons enjoyable. My lessons focus on developing technique and skills required to play music the student has chosen and I incorporate play and games into lessons to enable the most effective learning. I work mostly in classical, improvisation and new music contexts but can provide lessons in all genres.
Lessons are in English. Regular, irregular and one-off lessons are possible. I teach from beginner-advanced.
