I specialize in teaching beginning fiddle, clawhammer style banjo, and ukulele to young children ages 4 to 7 as well as clawhammer banjo and fiddle to beginners and intermediate level students of all ages from 4 through senior citizens. Lessons are tailored to the individual and the love and enjoyment of music is taught through a creative process with a whole person approach. For the youngest children, lessons include imaginative play to keep things fun and motivating. I have been teaching in Vermont since 1990 and currently live in Winooski where my studio is located. Since 2020, virtual lessons have become a partial component of my work and I have developed a fun way to do virtual lessons successfully with 5 year olds to adults. I host several events yearly and support my students in participating in appropriate local group events and camps.

I majored in music education on viola at the Crane School of Music and played in countless orchestras and string quartets in my early years of musicianship. In the mid-nineties I crossed over to mainly playing the fiddle and hosted several fiddle camps in the central Vermont area with Sarah Blair and Beth Telford. In 2003 I founded the Vermont Fiddle Orchestra and directed it for its first decade. I taught K-12 strings at Northfield Schools for 9 years and was on the faculty of Northeast Heritage Music Camp for 13 seasons. I have been on the faculty of Young Tradition Vermont Trad Camp for several seasons as well. I now teach exclusively private lessons at my home in Winooski and draw on these many decades of experience in my work. I am known for being patient and kind as a teacher and have helped thousands of budding musicians get off to a good start and fall in love with music making.
