About
With violin and piano students, I'm really good at helping them master each next challenging technique.
With voice students I guide the student's voice to a better space for resonance, tone, health, etc as needed.
In general I help students make the leap from one level - using good technique and playing/singing the music - to the next level of making music. When my students have an "aha" moment, it's such a wonderful feeling for me as well. My students know how much their success means to me too. For me, it's about what's right for my students, and whatever pace is right for them. I teach kids as well as adults, and all levels are welcome. Plus I've got plenty of great references.

Very luckily to have Miss.Mindy as our first Violin teacher. I strongly believe that first introduction teacher always make a big impact on the kids interest, passion and learning, So we have been looking for a best teacher who can help my 7 years son to teach, bump up his passion towards the music. We finally found Miss.Mindy who is very sweet and highly capable of teaching kids by incentivizing them with small perks like stickers for practicing 3+ days a week etc and presents for Christmas and organizing recitals on frequent basis to provide them opportunity to present their learning and boost up their talent. Through this she establishes kind of nice relationship with kids and makes them free to ask questions and talk to her freely. My kid just loves Miss.Mindy. I really recommend Miss.Mindy if you are looking for a teacher for your young heart.
Details: 6 - 9 years old • No formal training • No, the student cannot read music • What the teacher recommends • What the teacher recommends • No, but the student is planning to purchase a violin and would like the teacher's advice on it • 45 minutes • I travel to the violin teacher • The violin teacher travels to me

I always wanted to take singing lessons but never had the opportunity and courage. Mindy made everything easy. She is patient, competent and always greeting you with a smile. That's why I decided to take piano lessons as well ;)

Great instructor for my daughter. She has made so much improvement in the last 4 months. My daughter enjoys her lessons with Mindy and her confidence in her voice has really grown.

Started going for violin lessons (I'm in my 20's with no music background). Had only a couple of classes so far. I really like the pace and her style of teaching. She is professional and very easy to work with.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I schedule the initial half hour lesson at a discount so you can experience my teaching style.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My teaching techniques help students progress quickly while also encouraging the fun and joyful aspects of music. We work on healthy technique, music theory, ear training, and musicality - at a pace that makes sense for the student.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a degree in music performance and theory, over 25 years teaching and performing experience, I direct local groups, and I'm still a working musician.
