Creative Educator and Multi Instrumentalist
I started playing violin at age 7 and have proudly stuck with it for over 30 years. Along the way, I’ve played thousands of gigs, been a part of 35 bands, and performed for crowds ranging from intimate gatherings to 50,000-strong audiences.
I’ve been teaching one-to-one for 15 years, both in person and online. I understand the challenges and I’m here to support you. My approach is all about making music fun, achievable, and guilt-free.
