The first time I saw a symphony play, I was five years old and my mother took me to see the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra play Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. From that moment, I knew I wanted to play the violin. The most important part to me with teaching is connecting my students with the instrument and ensuring that they are truly enjoying it, so they are motivated to devote their time and effort to mindfully practice and develop proper technique. My lessons involve unique, engaging and fun exercises that do not feel so tedious yet result in quick and efficient technical development. I believe that if we are passionate about our instrument, anything is possible!
I studied violin privately from the age of five. I have fifteen years of private lessons with multiple teachers. My first teacher conducted the Vancouver Youth Symphony Orchestra, my second teacher was a member of the St. Louis, Toronto, and Boston Symphony Orchestras, and my third teacher studied under Professor Klimov, a student of David Oistrakh. I also have eleven years of orchestral experience at the Vancouver Youth Symphony Orchestra and the McMaster Symphony Orchestra, as well as classical chamber ensemble experience. I completed Advanced Rudiments, Harmony, and History RCM exams. I have been featured in former Berlin Philharmonic concertmaster Guy Braunstein's masterclass and have played in an orchestra alongside him at the Interharmony Music Festival in Acqui Terme, Italy. I will be attending the University of British Columbia School of Music for a Bachelor of Music specializing in Orchestral Violin.
Growing up, my mother would teach me piano and I would teach my three younger siblings the violin and other instruments. I have participated in music festivals such as the Northshore Music Festival, and have played for various events. I have completed practical and written Violin, Harmony, History and Rudiments RCM exams. I have commissioned works including specific requests for weddings. I also enjoy playing with other musicians in genres such as jazz bands, rock bands, and have played in musical theater pit bands. I am open to exploring other genres other than classical with my students if they would like! I also enjoy creating musical content online including violin tips and covers, which further enriches my teaching methods.
