Ever since I was 4 years old, I have been playing the violin. When I was 7, I also took up piano. As the years went by, I worked hard to develop my skills on both instruments. Despite dealing with recurring tendinitis issues in both high school and college, I pushed through to get my bachelor’s degree in music performance from Elmhurst University in 2021. Immediately after, I started teaching not only violin, but piano, and later voice at Allegro Music and Dance Academy in Lockport, IL. As much as I enjoy playing, I absolutely love teaching. I have learned so much over the past three years and have had the pleasure of working with kids as little as 5 to adults in their 50s and 60s.
