"I'm Jessica! I graduated Summa cum laude with a bachelor's degree in music and completed graduate work, including a graduate recital, for violin performance.

I've been playing music since age five, when I started with the piano, adding the violin and making it my primary instrument at age ten. I have over twenty years of violin teaching experience, coaching students to superior ratings at solo competitions and successful auditions for their all-state orchestras.

I believe music is an elemental part of the human experience, and I love sharing the joys of making music through teaching. Nothing is better than seeing someone's face light up the first time they master a new piece!

I excel at breaking down difficult concepts so they're understandable, providing tools to accelerate mastering difficult pieces, and building confidence so you feel like you can conquer any piece that comes your way. In addition to musical skills, lessons with me provide you with problem solving, resilience, and a more positive outlook on life and the challenges that come with it." less...
