Testimonials:
—7th grade cello student
Thank you very much for helping Oarin get his feet off the ground….A change that was noticeable to me in his enthusiasm, instinct, and ear for playing and listening has come about since he started working with you, not to mention his overall skill. So glad he has such a respectable person as yourself to work with and feel comfortable around….

You make playing the violin fun. During class you always have an astonishing amount of energy and patience and it is always good to start off the morning by laughing at the jokes you and Joanna make. Whenever anyone in orchestra has an idea or suggestion you actually listen to it and take it into consideration. Thank you for teaching us how to play lovely music and for being the awesome teacher that you are! 🙂
