Music through the years
This year marks my 20th year of teaching instrumental music in the public-school system. I earned both my Bachelor's and Master’s Degrees in Music Education from the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University.
My goal is to provide an excellent music education to every student that wants to work hard and have fun. A great strings program takes practice, patience, perseverance, and a positive outlook on the music making process!
