Introduction
I am a dynamic and experienced violinist and musician with a vast background of experience in both performing, teaching and Arts management. I have been performing for over 20 years in both high level classical orchestras as well as with the Elan agency and other groups affiliated with contemporary and rock bands. I have taught all levels of students from age 3 -80 years old and have been certified in Suzuki violin instruction through Book 6. I have piloted string programs in both summer camps, private and parochial schools and have been the Director of a Music Conversatory for 19 years. I have a passion for music and reaching young students. I want to make a difference in the lives of those interested in pursuing music as a profession, hobby and lover of the Arts.

Fabulous teacher
Around 25 years ago, my daughter (2-year-old) started her violin lesson with Anna. It was the fabulous experience both for her and me. I also improved my stringed skills a lot. Her lessons were not only informative but also professional. Because of her warm personality, we could assimilate into the local community. Thanks a lot!
