As a guest teaching artist, I’ve led workshops, coached ensembles, and presented sessions on string improvisation, creative performance techniques, and commercial styles. My work spans youth programs to university residencies, with collaborations including UCLA, Vanderbilt, Belmont, the Nashville Symphony, and Metro Nashville Public Schools.
