Brown enjoys concertizing with her peers in chamber music recitals, and has had the privilege of being coached by renowned chamber musicians: Anton Nel, Peter Salaff, James Dunham, and members of the Miro and Cavani Quartets.

I am an active advocate for each student to achieve their goals and dreams. I believe in creating a positive, safe, yet critical environment in which we can identify a student's strengths and points for progress. I help them to learn the steps they need to take to reach their greatest potential.
