About Rachel
A dedicated educator and performer, I have worked with young beginners through advanced students at the collegiate level, as well as adults of all levels. A traditional teacher that uses a combination of Suzuki repertoire and curriculum created by my mentor, renowned pedagogue, Mimi Zweig, I have 15+ years of teaching experience in a variety of settings. In addition to private teaching, I have been an associate instructor in violin at Indiana University, an adjunct faculty member at Napa Valley College and Pacific Union College and have experience as an El Sistema program director, orchestra sectional and chamber music coach.
