Introduction

A certified Suzuki violin and viola Instructor with a BM and MM in viola performance, I offer private lessons in the Portland, ME area. Experienced in teaching both beginners and those with experience, I am happy to teach students of all ages and levels. I currently have openings in my studio, and would love to hear from you! It is my belief that music should be available to those of all backgrounds, and I aim to reach a wide range of individuals through both my teaching and performing. Learning an instrument can shape who you are, developing work ethic, confidence, and ownership. Through the study of music, there are countless life skills that can be learned; creativity, listening, communication, compassion, empathy - just to name a few. These skills developed through learning a musical instrument benefit each individual as a whole, and can be applied in every other aspect of life and learning. I love working with those of all ages and levels - If the student is ready to learn, motivated, and loves music, I am excited to teach them.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Rates 30 min - $45 45 min - $55 60 min - $70

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

A free 20 minute trial lesson is offered to all prospective students so that we can meet each other and decide if it will be a good fit. Please feel free to contact me to ask any questions you may have or to set up a trial lesson.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I began my own studies on violin, and studied for 10 years before switching to viola. I then pursued my viola studies and received a Bachelors in Music from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, and a Masters in Music from Boston University. I have also been certified in Suzuki violin and viola, and completed a fellowship with Lincoln Center Education, working alongside teaching artists in New York public Schools.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Lessons for children: I accept students of all levels, ages 4 and up. I ask that my students be attentive and engaged at every lesson, and are dedicated to home practice. Parental involvement can be instrumental in a child's success as a student - I strongly believe in the power of the Suzuki partnership of parent, teacher, and student for each student's best progress and growth. I ask parents to attend lessons in order to help with home practicing. Lessons for adults: With adult students, I am more flexible with repertoire, and love supplementing materials that match each individuals interests. Helping each student find their own beautiful sound, and giving them the technical and musical tools to be able to play the music they love, are my top priorities.
