Teaching
I offer instruction in violin technique, jazz violin improvisation and world music. My teaching style is focused and flexible, and I engage students by encouraging them to own their own learning.
I accept students at any level of expertise from age of 12 through adult and professional, I accept younger students if a parent can be present at lessons. Use the form or phone number here to find out more.

His knowledge of not only jazz but other styles of music is something I aspire to!”
