Dr. Platt believes that music is a language and should be studied as such. She has certification in all levels of Suzuki pedagogy. John Kendall, Donald Becker, Vera McCoy-Sullentic, Winifred Crock, and Thomas Wermuth have mentored her in her Suzuki training. She has taught at the Suzuki Institute of Boston, the String Project at the University of Texas in Austin, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and the Kirkwood Academy of Music. 
 
Dr. Platt believes all students should study solo repertoire, chamber music, composition, improvisation, theory, history and technology in order to understand music at the highest level possible. Teaching the entire human being is her goal.
