Access a wealth of knowledge from several prominent violinists of the Golden Era of violin playing, many of whom were my teachers, including Zino Francescatti, Heryk Szeryng, Gerard Poulet, Sándor Vegh, Jean Fournier, and Stefan Herman.
My background allows me to help violinists prepare for competitions, auditions, exams, recitals, and concertizing. I also recorded professionally in Los Angeles for 10 years, and am well versed in studio recording, and related issues.
I am also available for consultations with colleagues regarding difficult or unusual student issues.
My approach to violin playing is based on the European violin traditions, including the development of right and left-hand techniques, scales, double-stops, and etudes.
I am open to a varied repertoire, so long as the student is technically proficient enough to play the piece well and enjoy it. I firmly believe in the artistic development of a personal style and sound, as it is the most authentic form of self-expression.
Students can expect a balance between technique and repertoire, both in lessons and in assigned practice work at home.
All levels welcome!
