About Me

I'm a recent Juilliard cellist grad who comes from a family of string players and teachers. I started helping my mother's Suzuki violin students when I was around 10, and have been teaching/mentoring ever since. I love getting to know new people and recently moved to Austin, TX from Manhattan to go on an adventure!

How I Teach

My philosophy is that the benefits of studying music are accessible to everyone at every level. Learning to play a musical instrument, at its best, can encourage brain flexibility/adaptability, increase problem solving and critical thinking skills, heighten self-awareness (which in turn can help with self-confidence and self-assurance), boost empathy and listening skills, and force humility. All of these traits are what help create a more harmonious human being - what's not to like? A good teacher immerses herself in her student's mind (every student learns differently) and the joint exploration never fails to fascinate me; it's always rewarding!
