Teaching Philosophy:

Empowering creative musicians, Dr. Platt believes music is more than notes on a page—it’s a universal language of connection, growth, and self-discovery. Her studio is a vibrant, supportive space where students are encouraged to:

  • Develop technical mastery through thoughtful, structured guidance
  • Explore a wide range of repertoire, from classical masterpieces to pop and Bridgerton-inspired crossover arrangements
  • Engage with music theory, improvisation, composition, and historical context
  • Perform regularly in studio classes, masterclasses, and community events
  • Embrace the joy of musical expression in a welcoming, high-expectation environment


Dr. Platt’s approach weaves tradition with innovation—drawing from mentors like Roman Totenberg and John Kendall, and incorporating insights from modern pedagogical thinkers like
The Bulletproof Musician by Noa Kagayama and Mind Over Finger by Dr. Renée-Paule Gauthier.
