I'm a 4th-year student of Music Education at the University of Connecticut. I'm a collegiate-level violinist and pianist (12+ years of training on both!), with much experience on the viola as well as with voice. I'm classically trained but my performance experience has widened my worldview. From performing with The Piano Guys to The Rustic Ramblers, from Les Miserable to Into the Woods, from worship music to electric fiddling, I've had the opportunity to learn from musicians of various genres. Regardless of what genre you'd like to pursue, a firm foundation in technique is necessary and I'm more than happy to help you get there. I have been teaching private violin, viola and piano lessons of ALL levels since 2017, in-person and online. I've also had the pleasure of serving as Resident Conductor of the University of Connecticut Chamber Orchestra as well as Assistant Director of the Southington Festival Chorale. For the past two years, I have been student-teaching part time in elementary, middle and high schools across Connecticut, giving me the opportunity to work with diverse, incredible groups of students. If you have any questions about the areas of music theory, composing/arranging/songwriting, aural skills or conducting, I'd be so glad to mentor you and share my experiences. My favorite thing is to build relationships with students and support the whole musician, the whole person, not just the violinist within them. Regardless of where you're at in your musical journey, don't be shy - let's work together as a team to help you reach your musical goals! NOTE: Currently I'm offering only online Violin and Viola lessons due to lack of piano in my current location - will return to giving online piano lessons very soon! Stay tuned.
