Vivo Strings

Introduction: I am a qualified and knowledgeable private strings and piano instructor. I have been teaching for over 10 years with some years of experience in the public school system. My teaching philosophy is that every student can learn and succeed. I offer lessons from my studio location in North Grafton: 202 Worcester St. #11 North Grafton, MA I have a B.S. in Music Education from Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester, NY. I have had teacher training in all stringed instruments (Viola, Violin, Cello and Bass) as well as training in Piano. My training has included classical styles as well as jazz and contemporary music. I perform regularly throughout Central Massachusetts and use that performance experience in my teaching. I have high expectations for my students and believe that every student should be given the opportunity to succeed. Each year, I provide students with several performance opportunities. My students play yearly studio recitals as well as perform throughout the community.
