Violin Lessons Midwest

Instruments: Violin

I've also taught 4th-12th grade orchestra in Arizona and Utah. Please contact me to have a trial lesson for yourself or your child. Read More

This includes music reading and general knowledge of the music. I feel that success comes from the student feeling that THEY have accomplished something. Read More
