Mission

Making music accessible to listeners, non-playing parents as well as students. I teach using the Suzuki style for ease and joy of playing violin for youngsters with their busy parents, to older adults who always dreamed of playing.

How to Start

All prospective students and families are required to observe at least three classes. Observations are free, and not limited to three. After they are completed, discussion and decisions about starting lessons will be made.

Then What Do You Do?

Lessons include both private time, Seesaw projects,  and Group Connection every month.

Parents take notes or record the lessons, and lead the home practice sessions.

Parents have their own fun class each month as well – a “parent time out” to pow wow about practicing and play together.

Studio Policy

No Make Up Lessons. If the teacher has to cancel, the lesson will be offered at an alternate time.
