I believe students grow most when they're encouraged to ask why.
Why Veritas
Veritas is Latin for truth. In my lessons, that means every student hears the reason behind what they're learning, and is free to ask for it.
A child who understands why a fingering works, or why a verb changes, remembers it.
How I teach
I start where your child is, without rushing and without judgment.
Then I explain the why behind what they're learning, so it makes sense.
They leave with one clear thing to practice before next time.
My music background
I've played violin since fourth grade. Along the way I've been part of:
- the NY All-State Music Festival (2019)
- the Stony Brook Young Artist Program
- youth orchestras
- my school and district orchestras, where I was principal violinist
I'm fluent in Spanish, and I earned a B.A. in Spanish and International Business from Northern State University in 2025.
I've taught for about five years, and I've been an assistant teacher in a homeschool program in Bellmore since 2023. See how lessons fit a homeschool week.
