About

I'm an old hand at teaching violin now and know what works and what doesn't. Of course it takes a bit to ascertain where the students talents are, and try to try to approach a variety of issues with an encouraging attitude.

I like seeing a student perform something I've taught them, but really I just enjoy imparting my knowledge on the subject of music and violin/fiddle playing. I know all the pieces that are "winners" but am good at creating a good technique as well as an interesting repertoire. I use a combination of materials including Suzuki School and customized songs that fit the students abilities without frustrating them.

    Frequently asked questions

     We start where you are, use what you have, and do what we can.

    We'll establish a direction to take, initiate a piece to develop, establish an achievable goal to keep the inertia going and keep things compelling but not daunting.

    I started as a young boy, studied with Minneapolis Symphony Violinist and other professional players, and made my first debut in the 5th grade.

    Since then,I've been on a mission: To become as good and as versatile and as original as I can be, playing with  orchestras, jazz groups, Irish groups, opera orchestra, Rock stars (Prince), recording sessions, composing, Italian, Mariachi, Bluegrass, Country, Chinese and Avante Garde scenarios, to name a few. I studied at Indiana University and University of Minnesota.Hopkins school district through High School.

    $35. per 30 minute lesson.

    $45 for 45 minute lesson.

    I started in High School at a local music store in Hopkins, Minnesota.

    I've worked with many people young and old, from 5 years old to 85+ years old.The violin is so versatile that I've developed a broad repertoire to share with as many students as I can.

    Performed my original symphonic composition "Violin Story: World's Fair Exposition" with the 3M Symphony orchestra.

    Developing new sounds for the violin and writing pieces to showcase them.

    Don't be intimidated by my resume: I love to teach and impart knowledge as a happy warrior, no matter where you are on your journey.

    A solid technique is attainable if you develop a good muscle memory for it. Think about what kinds of music appeal to you, but don't worry if you draw a blank: I can inspire you. The possibilities are beyond many people's comprehension, as the violin is like a human voice: endlessly variable.
