My studies with renowned performers and teachers at the Iceland Academy of the Arts, Indiana University Bloomington, and the University of Maryland College Park, as well as summer programs and masterclasses, have given me a comprehensive toolbox that I draw from in my own teaching. 

I pride myself on providing students with feedback that produces immediate results, and fuels their desire to develop and refine each facet of their technique and musicality. I am committed to a fully individualized approach that takes into consideration the complexity of each student’s background, learning style, and goals, and motivates them to develop their strengths (and overcome their weaknesses) without limitation.


My objectives include:
• Establishing effective and efficient practice methods, allowing for consistent success both in the practice room and on stage
• Exploring the range of possibilities of tone, projection, and interpretation
• Developing a secure technical foundation that is free from excess tension
• Bringing conscious awareness to physical and mental habits

• Embracing a comprehensive approach to the learning process, including score analysis, applied music theory, and historical context of works studied
• Igniting the imagination and passion of each student, and working on the skills needed to communicate artistic intentions in performance
