I believe in empowering my students in their musical journeys with a balance of challenge and encouragement; always keeping in mind their goals and aspirations. This requires me to listen attentively and meet the student where they are at to come alongside them and be an active support; teaching them according to the style that they learn best so that they can understand and grow. Furthermore, I believe it is important to integrate musical aural skills as well as Western music theory and history into the day to day lesson so my student will have all the skills they may require to become an independent learner and be able to tackle whatever challenges lay ahead.
I have a BA in Violin performance from the University of Alberta, studying under Edmonton Symphony Orchestra concertmaster Robert Uchida.
Furthermore, I have minored in studies of viola with principal violist of the ESO Keith Hamm.
My personal journey with violin began at age six, and I initially played a lot of Canadian and Irish fiddle music before making my transition into classical training. I studied the RCM curriculum with several teachers over the years and received my level 10 before pursuing music professionally and auditioning for university. In my four years of undergraduate training, I have played with the National Academy Orchestra in Hamilton Ontario for their summer 2023 season, played in masterclasses with exceptional violinists such as Pinchas Zukerman, Kerson Leong, Mark Fewer, and many others, as well as recieved a formal invitation to a festival in Cremona Italy.
