FAQ

Are you currently accepting new students?

Currently my space is limited, but I anticipate a spot opening in summer. If you would like to be added to my waiting list, please contact me.

What are your rates for lessons?

My rates depend on the duration and type of lesson. Please contact me if you would like to hear my lesson rates.

Do you teach using a particular method, like Suzuki?

I do not use a single teaching method. I use a variety of method books, including Suzuki. I like to tailor my teaching approach to each individual student. This includes playing music outside of the classical realm.

Do you teach students younger than 8 years old?

I do occasionally teach students under 8 years old, but most of my students are 8 and up. If your child is younger, but very enthusiastic, they may be ready to learn violin or viola.

Do you allow people to observe your lessons?

Yes! If you are a potential student, you are welcome to inquire about observing a lesson free of charge. However, the availability of lesson observations depends on my current schedule and the participation of the student being observed. Please contact me to inquire about observing a lesson or to schedule your own trial lesson.

Do you have any pets?

I have two cats: Tootsie (calico, female) and Jester (tuxedo, male). Both love people. Jester is curious and loves to visit, but he is very fussy about being petted. Tootsie is shy but very sweet and gentle—sometimes she likes to come to the door to say hi!
