My goal is to instill music in the hearts of many people while training them for the skills necessary to produce such music. I graduated from the University of Delaware in 2010 and have been teaching in public schools for 6 years. My teaching experience dates back to my high school days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 12 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students ever since. I am a public schoolorchestra director who has taught in 2 school districts in New Jersey and now teach in the Orange County Public Schools. I always emphasize regular practice on a consistent schedule as it helps the student progress and gain a passion for music and the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and popular music can go a long way in helping students enjoy any string instrument and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. If a student isn't having fun in their lessons, then I am not doing my job! I thoroughly believe in the practice cycle. If a student practices well, they get better, they want to play more, and they practice more. If a student does not practice, they don't get better, they don't want to play more, and they don't practice more. I am always looking to bring on new students of all ages!
