About Catherine
Teaching provides a way to share the physical freedom I found through my own practice. You will find that my approach centers on the Alexander Technique to ensure your body remains relaxed while performing complex classical repertoire. My method emphasizes posture and release before addressing technique or shifting positions.
Over 13 years, I have worked with everyone from 4-year-old beginners to advanced students preparing for conservatory entrance. My home studio in Los Angeles serves as a space to refine your sight reading and left-hand agility.
I also guide students through scales, arpeggios, and grade exam prep for ABRSM or Trinity. Consistency matters. My goal is to build a foundation that supports your musical growth. Technique.

Do you find that tension often hinders your ability to express the music on the page? My sessions start with a diagnostic assessment to create a practice plan that prioritizes your physical wellbeing.
Drawing from my DMA at the University of Michigan School of Music, I blend technical rigor with a focus on breath and tone production. These lessons adapt to your unique challenges while maintaining a methodical pace that encourages sustainable progress.
We observe how your movement impacts the sound you create during our time together. By integrating mental clarity with physical alignment, you gain control over your instrument in a way that feels natural. It remains a joy to see students discover how ease of motion transforms their violin playing. I look forward to working with you to achieve a balanced and resonant sound.
