Suzuki Method and traditional study
in Longmont, Colorado
About me
I am one of the lucky ones who had music instilled in my life from a very young age. Blessed with an enthusiastic Suzuki teacher and a great support system, my violin practice was something that never relinquished. I believe that it was music that taught me a sense of discipline and how to focus, and because of this, my life is more vibrant. To inspire a lifelong love for music in my students brings me deep joy - and to spark a love for learning illuminates their whole world.

Why learn music?
Music is one of the most potent forces known to man. It is arguably the most primitive, all-inclusive ways to communicate - while at the same time, one of the most divine acts to perform or witness. But to keep grounded here, the goal of learning an instrument is not mastery. Rather, learning and practicing music is like shedding light on the deepest, most complex parts of our brain that might otherwise go unexplored.
My job as a music teacher is to find what motivates, entertains and encourages each mind, and navigate a learning route from there. Students of this studio will be exposed to creative ways to exercise their ability to focus, their aural skills and coordination, while expanding their emotional literacy and ability to express themselves. If we foster a love for music by way of lessons, then I am elated. But if our studio realizes that through music, we can cultivate a sense of community, and help those be a more caring, empathetic part of society: I consider that a substantial accomplishment.
