I am a huge proponent of teaching music as not only learning to play an instrument, but also a way to learn self-discipline, creativity, problem solving, focus and concentration, self-expression, and critical thinking. My pedagogical approach centers on fostering a nurturing and stimulating environment that fosters curiosity and personal growth. I tailor my teaching methods to match each student's unique learning style and aspirations. Over the past eight years, I have been instrumental in the teachings and development of violin students in both California’s Bay Area and New York City.

Amazing teacher!! Sandra has taken my playing to a completely new level. She's extremely understanding and my lessons are catered to what I want out of them. She's a great listener as well and has helped me enjoy practicing more.
