I have been a private teacher on viola and violin for over 20 years as well as performing as a freelance violist. For the past 3 years, I taught grades 7-12 orchestra part-time at ALA Gilbert North. Previously I was a viola/violin coach at various GPS high schools, including Campo Verde, and I am excited to return as a viola coach. In previous years I taught elementary strings, and also ran a string quartet called The Sunland Strings. I have performed with The Musica Nova Orchestra, Mesa Symphony (now Symphony of Southwest), and was part of the Brevard North Carolina Summer Orchestras. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Music Education/string concentration and Masters of Music in Performance from ASU. Go Devils! My husband and I have 4 daughters, and we love hiking and the outdoors.
