“After hearing Julie perform… I was so eager to take lessons from her because I was enchanted by her performance that night. After taking a 3 year hiatus from performing classical works to explore other genres, I reached out to Julie and was instantly inspired once again—by the way she communicates about music, her technical mastery that seems so effortless, and her kind spirit.”
- Amy A.
Julie is a fantastic musician, teacher, and mentor. I feel so fortunate to have had opportunities to work with her on everything from solo repertoire to orchestral excerpts. I really appreciated all her tips, wisdom, and practical advice on audition preparation. I am especially grateful that she encouraged me to hone in on the mental aspect of my performances and auditions in a way that deeply resonated with me, as I know this helped me reach a new level of preparation and success.
