Teaching Philosophy

I teach violin with two priorities: focused skill-building and true musical connection.

My goal is to guide serious students in the Edmonds area through disciplined, structured training that builds both technical mastery and musical artistry.

Every student deserves more than just a lesson plan. They deserve to be seen, challenged, and supported, in a way that respects who they are, and who they’re becoming.

My approach is straightforward: clear technique, real engagement, and steady progress without rushing milestones or cutting corners.

Serious training doesn’t mean rigid or joyless.
Curiosity, passion, and authentic connection are at the core of every lesson.

Technique matters, but the love of music is what makes it worth building.

Beyond the violin itself, I believe learning music cultivates focus, resilience, self-discipline, and emotional strength, skills that stay with you far beyond the practice room.

Lessons here are structured, personalized, and built to last, whether your goal is professional advancement or a lifelong connection to music.
