I have been teaching in Irvine, CA since 1992. I don't know where the time has gone. It went by so fast. Many of my first students are in college now. I would love to hear from them and find out what they have been doing with their lives even if they aren't currently playing the violin.

It is a joy to have older students or alumni from TEC scattered about CA and the world playing their violins in various musical organizations and activities. No matter how much I enjoy working with my advanced students, I never lose enthusiasm for starting the next new beginner or PreTwinkler.

The PreTwinkle Method which I have been developing in the TEC studio is now being adapted for PreTwinlers in the Santa Ana Suzuki Strings at OCCTAC, which I have had the privilege of Directing and developing curriculum for. You can see this work on YouTube or Facebook.
