Hello and welcome to Music!

I have been teaching string instrumets for decades and look forward to helping your student discover the joys of gaining a unique skill that they can enjoy for their entire lives.  Whether they want to pursue a future in the arts, play for fun or just become a well rounded knowledable supporter of the arts, I welcome them to my classroom.

I hold a bachelors of Music Education from Pacific Lutheran University and a Masters in Classroom Management from American College of Education.  I have been teaching strings for decades in the South Sound area and am active musician in the community.  I am a violinist with the Olympia Symphony and also play for my church and other community organizations.

I look forward to helping your student begin their musical journey, where ever it may take them!

Orchestra is an option for 5th grade students.  More information about orchestra is found here.

During virtual learning, orchestra students meet at 12:30 Mon-Thurs.  The days they meet depends on their instrumentation. 

Following orchestra classes, I teach general music classes all afternon.  I hold office hours in the morning from 8-11 am.
