Meet the Teacher

Learning an instrument with me is never boring!

I began my musical journey in third grade, when I discovered my love of the violin. Various instruments have been added along the way, and my musical journey continues.

Spanish has also been a passion since childhood. I find the language so beautiful that I recieved a Bachelors of Arts in Foreign Languages, after studying abroad in Spain. 

Private lessons are the best way to gain mastery in a subject, as all content can be tailored to each individual student. I am a supportive and enthusiastic teacher, looking to spread the joy of learning in my community. 

Learning a new language allows opportunity for personal growth abroad. 

Certifications:

Lesson Details

Students ages 5 to adult accepted.  Lessons are 30 or 45 minutes, see Schedule for pricing. 

Instruction begins with an assessment of the student's current knowledge. I work together with each student to create goals and a learning plan for future lessons. Students are incentivized to complete homework, with clear instructions written for at-home practice. We revisit goals every three months.

Spanish lessons include immersion activities like conversation and games, as well as grammar for reading and writing. 

Music lessons include warm-ups, a technique focus, workbook activities, a challenge song, and free play time.
