Teaching Philosophy

The fulfillment in guiding students to wherever their talents lead them is something that I cherish, and I have been blessed by many guiding lights.

The biggest influence in my artistic life was my teacher, Rosina Lhevinne. She was an extraordinary musical force, and focused on the "whole student." Whether it be her sharing the knowledge of the "Russian School" or her individualized teaching methods, Madame Lhévinne's striving for achievement and search for beauty are ageless goals that inspired and shaped me.
