Personal Message

I am very excited to be in my 10th year working with TOPS Orchestra kids. Teaching strings is my passion. I love getting to work with students when they are first discovering the joys (and trials) of learning to play the violin, viola, cello or bass.

I am always here for questions and working on how to make this the most successful musical experience for your student, please contact me!
