I hold degrees from top U.S. conservatories including a Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA) and studied with world-class pedagogues.
This means students receive elite-level technique training, not just basic instruction.
I do not simply say “practice more.”
I teach how to use the body correctly:
posture optimized for each student
bow hold adjustments for clean sound
tone production based on arm weight and balance
finger shape and left-hand alignment
Students build beautiful tone and strong fundamentals from the very beginning—something most studios cannot provide.
Parents often tell me my lessons feel:
warm
encouraging
patient
structured
positive
My teaching philosophy:
“Confidence first, technique always, music forever.”
I make sure each student feels proud of their progress.
I specialize in:
gentle guidance, posture training, fun learning
audition preparation, orchestral excerpts, fast technical growth
stress-free lessons, flexible pace, no pressure
Every student receives a fully customized approach.
safe, family-friendly neighborhood
comfortable home studio
quiet, distraction-free environment
easy parking
convenient access for Blue Ash, Montgomery, and Sycamore families
Parents love the stability and quality of the setting.
Students receive:
structured lesson plans
personalized notes
recordings to review
monthly parent updates
event/recital opportunities
Parents always know exactly what their child is learning and how fast they are progressing.
