Private Music Lessons in San Marcos, CA

There are two things in life that I knew that I wanted to do since I was a young girl. The first was to pursue a life of music, where I could play the instruments that I love, the Violin and Piano. The second was to share that love of music with others through teaching. Just like how my teachers helped me, I want to be a part of helping other students find their own love for music. My time in Taiwan, Germany, and the United States showed me how across different cultures, teachers approach sharing that message. I believe that my diverse background studying music in several different continents, countries, and cultures will bring a unique perspective to music that would benefit students. Whether it's violin, viola or piano, I hope to help people find their own joy in music!

I've been doing this longer and have a stronger work ethic than most of the people in my field. While some people just show up to teach, I prepare and adapt to each student constantly accessing whether or not I'm going to fast or slow. I also practice what I preach. Being a musician is a lot of hard work. I'm very dedicated to what I do and that makes me focus on my craft with 110% effort. The perks of that pay off when I see my students progress.
