It is a privilege to work with Yale undergraduate violinists, many of whom chose Yale College over renowned music conservatories. Students have the unique opportunity to study music at high levels of achievement and intensity, while pursuing their liberal arts degrees. My goal for my students is to have as many career options as possible at the end of their Yale College career. The passion and love for music my students bring to their studies is a source of great inspiration for me.
