About

With a career spanning over 30 years, I have dedicated myself to the artistry of both the Violin and Viola. Throughout my journey, I have had the privilege of performing on prestigious stages across the nation and world, along side internationally recognized musicians. I am honored to hold regular positions with esteemed organizations such as the Colorado Ballet, Opera Colorado, Boulder Philharmonic, and proudly serve as the distinguished Concert Master of the Longmont Symphony.

I firmly uphold the principle that music should be accessible to all individuals, which is the driving force behind my vocation as an educator. That's why I became a teacher. Whether you're a just a beginner or an advanced student needing guidance, let's explore music together!  I really emphatize with students of the challenges of learning, and change my approach to teaching to reflect different learning styles.  With a deep understanding of the obstacles faced by students, I am committed to adapting my teaching methodology to accommodate diverse learning styles.

I provide comprehensive private lessons tailored to individual needs, which can be conducted in-person, online, or through a hybrid learning model. My teaching services are open to students of all age groups, including adults, encompassing a wide spectrum of proficiency levels ranging from beginners to professionals. In addition to fundamental instruction, I also offer specialized guidance for orchestral excerpt preparation and college audition preparation for aspiring professionals.

Apart from my teaching commitments, I offer my services for esteemed high-level performances, encompassing solo, chamber, & orchestral engagements. My musical proficiency extends to professional-level performances and participation in prestigious competitions on both instruments.  When you engage my services, you can have full confidence in hiring a musician who has held prestigious principal orchestral positions on both the violin and viola.
