Teacher Comments:
I aim to keep music lessons fun, musical experiences diverse, and offer encouragement to progress that is appropriate for each student. With a personal background in and love of both, I encourage students to learn both classical and fiddle styles. However, each student is an individual and I teach to that individual's ambition and interests.

I teach children in a 2 semester-based weekly lesson program, and adults on a more flexible basis.
