TEACHING
Martha has eight years of experience teaching students, both privately and in group settings, with a wide range of ages and backgrounds. She received Suzuki training for Book 1 and pre-twinkle (foundational technique for beginners) but has since transitioned away from the Suzuki method, carefully developing her own pedagogical roadmap and philosophy. Her emphasis is on building strong relationships with students and encouraging them to be sensitive players, paying as much attention to developing the critical ear as training the hands.
Martha maintains a small private studio, open to online and NYC-based students. Click below to inquire more.

As a Morse Fellow in Community Engagement at Juilliard, Martha has received extensive training to be the best teacher she can be, benefiting from the guidance of Dr. Alice Jones, Laurie Scott, and Abbey Hansen, among others. She has worked closely with New York City's Opportunity Music Project, leading sectionals for their orchestra program. Any student will tell you that Martha is quick on her feet, eager to meet students where they are, while holding high expectations for their ability to progress.
