Core Principles
The Three Beliefs That Guide My Teaching.
Every lesson, every passage, every conversation is shaped by these three principles — the same ones I rely on for my own performances.
Deepen Your Understanding.
Curiosity and constant renewal of knowledge are the most powerful tools for developing ourselves as artists and people. The understanding behind the score lies in questions concerning not only the historical background but also finding the 'right' tempo, shaping of melody, the language on which the pieces are built, the rhetorical figures, and the ability to recognize movement impulses.
Precision and Awareness in Every Note.
A stable instrumental technique is the ground upon which a musician's self-confidence is built. The fine-tuned synchronization of controlled bow and left-hand technique, high sensitivity to intonation and sound quality, and feeling comfortable in your own body and mind are what lead you to play at an advanced level.
Uncover The Story.
There is often a concern among young musicians: "Am I allowed to have my own interpretation?" The answer is yes, of course, and you definitely should! This is the way to express your own intelligence, humor, wisdom, and everything that you are in your playing. The key to truly uncovering your story is to have the skill and knowledge to do so.
