Music is my inspiration and the violin my greatest connection to it. In the course of my life, playing over 2000 concerts and teaching hundreds of students, I have learned that elasticity in our bodies and openness in our hearts can lead us to maximum expression. I hope that the musical and technical methods I share here can inspire and help you on your journey!

She has a deep well of knowledge and enthusiasm for her students that never runs dry, and her meticulous guidance improved all aspects of my playing.
