Teaching Philosophy
I believe that the role of music education is to encourage students to search for themselves what the meaning of music is. To be successful in music does not mean to excel at an instrument, but instead, to cultivate a love and appreciation for music. Music has a lifelong impact on all people, no matter if you go into it as a career or not. I tailor my teaching style to the student’s personality and individual needs, collaborate with the student, and am their biggest advocate. I teach in a way where the student can independently identify and transfer concepts learned in the lesson within and outside of music.
Musical Education
I have studied the violin since the age of 4 and was a full scholarship student at the Phil and Eli Taylor Academy at the Royal Conservatory of Music. I also studied at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston as a Dean's Scholar and graduated from the Glenn Gould School of Music. I will pursuing my master's degree in violin performance at McGill University.

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
