About Me

Greetings! Music is my native language. I completed my Bachelors of Science in Music with an emphasis in violin performance and pedagogy. I have been fortunate to perform with major orchestras in the Dallas metroplex and have toured North America and Europe for 25+ years. I have extensive pedagogical training and performance experiences with maestros from around the globe. I studied violin, viola and chamber music under the tutelage of Mugur Doroftei. I studied woodwinds, brass, and instrumental conducting with Rudyard Dennis, and flute with Patricia Surman. During my career, I have played in orchestras for musicals, operas, festivals, pop and symphonic series. I provide tutoring services for Violin, Piano, and Flute with an emphasis in theory, math, and sciences and their relationship to music. My philosophy is to inspire students to create a lasting relationship with their chosen instrument by promoting a fun and exciting learning experience.
