My Musical Influences

I took violin lessons from the legendary teacher, Mary West.

For my bachelor’s degree, I studied with Professor Vartan Manoogian. During graduate school, my professors were Josef Genualdi and Ilya Kaler—the only violinist to win gold medals at the Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow (1986), the Sibelius Competition in Helsinki (1985), and the Paganini Competition in Genoa (1981).
