VIOLIN STUDIO

"I specialize in the musical formation of students ages 3-18, from beginning to advanced levels. Based in the Red Deer, AB area, I am committed to fostering a vibrant and inclusive musical community where students are inspired by and support one another; where families build meaningful connections with other families for whom music study is a priority; and where lifelong friendships are ignited by a shared love of making music.

My approach combines Suzuki and traditional methods along with music theory, history, scales, and technique, tailored to each student's particular needs.

In addition to private lessons, beginning students participate in weekly group classes where they receive encouragement from their peers and learn valuable ensemble skills from playing with others.

My students gain performance experience by participating in music festivals, masterclasses, solo recitals, and studio recitals. Eligible students who pass an audition may also play in one of several local ensembles including the Red Deer Youth and Community Orchestra, the Rosedale Valley String Orchestra, or the Burman University Symphony Orchestra. Advanced students who are interested may receive training in violin pedagogy and be mentored in beginning their own studios.

My focus on functional technique, individual musical interpretation, and the development of a serious commitment to personal improvement in each student, helps to ensure autonomous learning and a lifelong appreciation of music in my students.
