My name is Michael and I love playing and teaching violin. It has been such a privilege and blessing in my life. Through teaching, I am able to share that privilege with others. Students in my studio benefit from:
decades of experience
research-based violin pedagogy
Mind, body, music connection
Quality, one-on-one instruction
An updated approach to learning for the 21st century student
“Playing violin ISN'T hard, it just takes time”
-Almita vamos
String instruments are considered some of the most difficult to master for a variety of reasons. Intimidating as a journey with violin may be, all a student needs is an understanding of the basic mechanics and PATIENCE.
“Michael is so amazing! So helpful teaching me technique, music theory, and so much more! Creates a fun learning environment where I feel comfortable and supported to reach my goals! ”

“ ... provides a very positive, fun environment that is full of constructive (and very polite) teaching. He understands the frustration of a new student and gives a steady stream of reinforcement that you’re making progress ... I firmly believe in his desire to share a love of the violin with his students and nurture their paths in whatever musical direction they may go ... I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who wants to become a better musician, regardless of age or skill level.”
— Vee
“Michael has been a terrific instructor, helping an older guy like me pick up and begin a new journey playing music.”
