My name is Ethan, and I am soon-to-be graduate from The University of Texas at Austin and am a classically trained violinist with over 12 years of playing experience. I grew up in the Flower Mound area and was fortunate to be a part of the Briarhill Middle School and Marcus High School orchestra programs from grades 6 through 12. During that time, I was lucky enough to be a big part of the program and served as the MHS Orchestra president during my senior year. By taking a leadership role I quickly realized the passion I had for music and teaching in general and inspired me to pursue a career in education.
As a dedicated educator with over 4 years of teaching experience, I am passionate about sharing my love for music with students of all ages and levels. I firmly believe that music has the power to inspire, uplift, and connect people from all walks of life. My commitment to creating a positive and inclusive learning environment that fosters creativity, curiosity, and growth is unwavering. I am a firm believer that every student has a unique musical voice and that it is my job as a teacher to help them discover and develop that voice.
My teaching philosophy is centered around the student. I understand that each student has their own learning style, pace, and goals, and it is my responsibility to tailor my instruction to meet those individual needs. I strongly believe in setting realistic and achievable goals and helping my students develop the skills and discipline needed to achieve them.
As a teacher, I am patient, encouraging, and always looking for ways to challenge and inspire my students. I prioritize the acceptance of all people and strive to create a safe and supportive space for each student to explore their musical interests and abilities. Outside of teaching and music, I enjoy hiking, photography, biology, and spending time with my cat named Willow. I believe that my varied interests and life experiences give me a well-rounded perspective on life and help me connect with students on a deeper level.
Ultimately, I am confident in my ability to inspire and empower students to realize their full potential as musicians and individuals. Thank you for considering me as your music teacher, and I am excited to work with you to achieve your musical aspirations.
