Music education - especially in early years - has been shown to improve cognitive abilities such as planning, inhibition, memory, and reasoning. Structured music lessons (such as violin!) are even more impactful.

Creating a meaningful musical experience requires a lot of emotional involvement.
I love to teach students to listen to music like an artist, explore various styles, and develop the technique necessary to play expressively.

Playing the violin can be a very challenging yet rewarding physical pursuit. With a natural physical approach to the instrument, students of the violin develop a great deal of body awareness and coordination in order to isolate complex movements and release tension in the body.
