Introduction: I play violin, flute and viola, and also teach those instruments privately. I was a professional flutist with the US Army Band and Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps, and have played violin with orchestras, Celtic, jazz and Country bands. I love bringing the joy of music to people of all ages. Music heals and brings people from all countries, cultures and backgrounds together, It truly is a universal language.

The best experience that any student could have. My son thoroughly enjoys his lessons with Mr. McCord. He had no previous musical experience & within only a few lessons, he was reading & comprehending how to read music. Mr. McCord’s patience is rivaled only by his passion he has for the craft. You will not find a better person to provide you with such a well rounded lesson for violin.
