I have a BM-Music Performance from the Eastman School of Music. I am an organist at Grace Episcopal in Standardsville, VA, and perform with the Charlottesville and University Symphony Orchestra on Bassoon. Bassoon is my primary instrument, I studied with John Hunt at Eastman and with Ibby Roberts at UVA in High School (Albemarle). While at Eastman I took secondary piano and organ lessons from masters students and prepared for recitals and juries on both piano and organ. I studied piano with Dot Stevenson while at middle school (Sutherland) and high school (Albemarle). I teach at my home, located in the Hollymead Towncenter, and at Grace Episcopal Church in Stanardsville, VA. The teaching method I use depends on the student, and I encourage good technique and an understanding of music theory. I teach classical music and other music at the student's request.

Teaching Areas: Violin, Viola, Beginning cello
Ages/Levels Accepted: 6 - adult, beginner
I began the study of violin at age 7. On a full scholarship to SMU I studied with Dallas SO Concertmaster Leonard Posner. I was accepted to study with Toscanini's former concertmaster Mischa Mischakoff, then concertmaster of the Detroit SO, and graduated from Wayne St. University with a BA in music in 1968. I received my MMEd at the University of Arkansas where I studied with Marx Pales, student of Szigetti. I have taught privately, in university and in public schools since 1970. I use several methods including All for Strings, Essential Elements and the Suzuki literature. Along with these methods I choose performance literature appropriate for the playing level of each student. I believe in a comfortable and flexible lesson situation in which students are encouraged and can look forward to their lessons. Parents are welcome and encouraged to sit in on the lessons. My goal has always been for the students to learn to play to the best of their abilities and to understand and love music in a way that will enrich their whole lives.
