With over three decades of experience as a performer and educator, I have dedicated my career to music performance and aspiring musicians' development. I perform more than 200 concerts each year, collaborating with esteemed artists in my field. My passion for teaching is rooted in helping musicians build a strong foundation, develop essential skills, and grow into exceptional performers.

Through my experiences on stage and in the classroom, I have cultivated a deep interest in composition, further enriching my musical journey. I am grateful for a career that allows me to balance performance, education, and creative expression. While music is my life's work, I am most thankful for my family and my lifelong love of learning—because to be truly prepared for anything, one must always be ready to learn.
