About
I have been tuning pianos since 2022, despite my current set price i still offer flexible rates and special discounts. House calls with no repair/tuning+assessment is priced at $100. Travel fees are included for tunings outside of San Diego County. I have been teaching violin since 2011 and I have been playing violin since 2006. My focus is providing the tools and techniques necessary for everyone’s specific learning needs and to deliver the best quality in violin performance.

Great experience with Alethia, so thorough in her work and juiced up my very old and broken piano while addressing risks and explaining the process each step of the way. Will definitely be using her to service my piano regularly moving forward! Thank you!

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    When I was 17 years old, the middle school I graduated from needed an assistant violin teacher for their 5th-8th grade orchestra class. Shortly after I began assisting, I started my own business as a private teacher and haven’t looked back since.
