I love the violin!

I began playing the violin at 3 years of age after begging my parents for lessons for a whole year.  I have taken lessons with M. Beth Eigenheer for over 11 years and have completed all 10 Books of the Suzuki Method.   I will continue studying violin with graduate work.  I have performed all over the Sacramento area with the Riverside South Suzuki Strings.

I began teaching my first students in the fall of 2008.  Teaching others has been an awesome experience.  I want everyone to be able to make and enjoy music.

In addition to the violin, I am also studying piano, voice and theater.  Music is the centerpiece of my life and I love sharing it with others.
