Why did you decide to start lessons?
I started on violin, but then Christina “forced” me to switch to viola because I played violin like it was a viola.
How long have you been taking lessons?
Since 2010
Do you play any other instruments?
Piano, bass
How often do you practice?
I prefer to keep that a secret (it in flux right now)
What is one of your favorite pieces you have learned so far?
Vieuxtemps Elegy
What advice do you have for other musicians studying your instrument?
Don’t play it faster than you can play it; fingers, fingers, hands
What do you enjoy about lessons?
I like getting to play and getting feedback. It cuts down on time wasting in practice rooms.
What do you like about Dynamic Music Studios?
I used to take lessons at the old place. This is brand new.
What goals do you have for lessons?
Get my playing to the level I want to be at. I want to be able to teach lessons to students soon.

I’m finishing my BA in Viola Performance at the University of Iowa.
