I’m on faculty at the Mannes School of Music at New School University, teaching violin, chamber music, and various performance seminars. I’m also available for private lessons. My teaching deals with string-playing technique (its traditions and methods as well as recent innovations and my personal approach), the Western classical repertoire, and a wide range of modern music (mid-20th-century to now). 

My students range from graduate college students to children, professionals to amateurs. I teach from the basics to the most “advanced” playing, technically and interpretively, and from the most familiar pieces of music to the new and just-created.

My violin students have been accepted to schools and festivals including the Yale School of Music, Manhattan School of Music, Indiana University, Peabody Institute, Cleveland Institute, Frost School of Music in Miami, Cincinnati College-Conservatory, Cornell University, Juilliard Pre-College, Lucerne Festival Academy, Bang on a Can Summer Music, Bowdoin Festival, and Decoda Festival.

I’ve coached instrumentalists of Banff/Ensemble Evolution and Carnegie Hall’s Ensemble Connect, and given violin masterclasses at Eastman School of Music, Princeton, Brown, Rice, Florida State, East Carolina, and Lawrence universities, Williams College, Peabody Prep, the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra’s academy program, and the West Cork Festival in Ireland, among other places. I’ve also given many workshops and seminars for composers. In July 2026, I will be on the violin faculty at Juilliard Summer Music.
