I have many years of teaching experience in addition to an international performing career in venues as Berlin Konzerthaus and London Cadogan Hall and solid education (Artist Diploma, M.M., B.M.) at the Indiana University Bloomington and in Germany. VIOLIN LESSONS: I structure each student's lessons tailored to his/her goals and needs. As a teacher, I aim to instill the love of learning and clearly analyze and effectively instruct. I encourage and I demonstrate with my own playing and guide with efficient practicing routines. I specialize in audition prep, college auditions, youth orchestra auditions, etc. Education: I earned my Bachelor and Masters in Violin Performance at Indiana University, where I also learned violin pedagogy. Then, I worked as a teacher's assistant in Germany and obtained another Master's and a Konzertexamen, the highest possible degree for violin performance in Germany. I worked with Grammy-nominated and world-renowned musicians like the concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic. Performing Career: I have continued my performing career since I was 14 years old in America, Europe, Asia and in the Middle East, performing extensively as a soloist, chamber musician, and orchestral musicians in classical venues, such as the Berlin Konzerthaus, Munich Hercules Hall, Laieszhalle in Hamburg, Stavanger Konzerthaus in Norway, and Cadogan Hall in London, home of the Royal Philharmonic. I took a part in CD recordings with the Rheinische Philharmonie Koblenz and Mainzer Virtuosi and in the Rheinhessen TV broadcasting of my solo performance of Mozart Concerto No.4. Teaching Experience As an active educator, I taught violin and mentored students in public schools and music academies including the IU String Academy and the state music academy of Rheinland-Pfalz in Germany. Not only have I taught one-on-one violin lessons from the beginning to advanced level of ages 4 through 60+ for more than a decade, but I also have taught group lessons like in Fairview Violin Project and coached chamber music and directed string ensembles.
