Viola Lessons Seattle County, WA

Instruments: Piano, Violin, Viola, Mandolin, Recorder, Electric Violin, Fiddle

I try to teach to the personality, strengths, and needs of each individual student: one size does not fit all when it comes to playing instruments! I stress correct posture and technique as a means to an end, which is the ability to progress and enjoy playing. I have taught many students over a period of years--often between 7 and 10+ years.
