Anne is a wonderful violin teacher! She is patient and encouraging, and has a lot of great tips on improving skills, fixing bad habits, and becoming more expressive while playing. I've enjoyed learning new pieces with her and been re-discovering the joy of playing the violin after almost 20 years of not playing!

I love my lessons with Anne! She is a fabulous teacher. After taking lessons for most of my childhood, I hadn't taken lessons in almost 10 years. Anne has helped me rediscover the joy of practicing and playing violin. Her intuition, perceptiveness, and keen attention to my technique, posture, intonation, and overall sound has really helped me improve and regain my love for playing. She's dependable, friendly, communicative, and professional. I highly recommend Anne!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Lessons are sold in packages of 4. I offer 1/2 hr lessons for $45 and hour long lessons are $55. Travel lessons at your location have an add on fee starting at $10-$20. Lessons are booked upon purchase and I offer one reschedule per period.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
There are a few questions I ask before we meet to establish a baseline. Then, on our first lesson we will dive right in! If you already have experience playing I'll ask you to play something you already know, we'll work on it, and then introduce new material. If a student is brand new to the instrument we'll go over the basics and I'll have them playing a simple tune by the end of the lesson.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelors of Music in instrumental music education & secondary education, a teaching certificate, and experience with private and classroom music teaching.
