Study with an International Concert Violinist

For over 30 years I've dedicated my life to the violin.

I've performed as a soloist and chamber musician at renowned venues including Lincoln Center (New York), Konzerthaus Vienna, Rudolphinum (Prague), Kamakura Arts Center (Japan), Seoul Arts Center, and Lotte Concert Hall (Seoul), and studied with one of the world's leading violinists, Pinchas Zukerman.

Today I coach dedicated violinists around the world online.

Whether you're preparing for auditions, competitions, performances, or simply trying to improve overall, my goal is simple:

Identify the root cause of the problem and solve it efficiently — to make you the best player you can be.
Philosophy

Why Students Work With Me

Most teachers tell you what is wrong.
I explain why it's happening.

I don't believe in changing your technique, fingerings or setup simply because I would do it differently.

If it's working, we leave it alone.

If something is limiting your playing, we'll identify it—and fix it.

The goal isn't to make you sound like me. The goal is to help you become the best violinist you can be.
