Connor went out of his way to learn about my daughter, her interests, and her personality, which helped him customize the best way to teach her. Connor is a gifted musician but also highly skilled at teaching. He works well with families and has a flexible schedule. My daughter loves working with him! Can't recommend Connor enough!

My daughter came to Connor two years ago having never played any instrument. Connor instantly created a rapport with my teenager, who was self-conscious about learning the violin much later than her peers. Connor's encouragement and skillful ability helped my daughter rapidly master fundamental skills. After taking in-person and virtual lessons from Connor, her musical confidence increased so much that she auditioned for her school's highest orchestra and was invited to join without previous orchestra experience. Under Connor's tutelage, she continues progressing. During fourth quarter, her conductor moved her to second chair playing with a talented violinist of nine years. Connor is both a compassionate and skillful instructor. You will be fortunate to work with Connor.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge $60 per hour. Thus, 30 minute lessons are $30 and 45 minute lessons are $45. Lessons are paid for on a weekly basis.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always provide new students with a complimentary trial lesson, just to see if we are a good fit for each other. We will discuss goals, studio policies and other details. It's a chance for you to see what a violin lesson is like with me before fully signing up.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I completed a Master in Violin Performance from the Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University in 2023, including coursework in violin pedagogy. I have also extensively studied the Suzuki Method and incorporate that with some students.
