Hired on Thumbtack
Craig is very nice, knowledgeable and professional. His studio is in a great location and is very peaceful/perfect for lessons. His prices are also the most reasonable that I've found, by far. I started lessons a couple weeks ago and I couldn't be happier!

Craig is a violin teacher with many years' experience ( he started playing violin in grade school) and is very easy to be around. I think he knows how to help a serious student get where he or she wants to go.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
$35 for 45 minutes which is normal for students age 8 years old and up. $30 for 30 minutes for ages 7 and younger.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We set up a time for you to come for your 1st lesson. Your 1st instruction book is included free. If you need a instrument I have them available for rent or sale. If so , we spend a extra 15 minutes at no additional charge for my time picking you out a instrument and going over the rental agreement or sale. We get right into playing the instrument at the 1st lesson and this helps me to see what musical knowledge you may already have and how I can best teach you to reach your musical goals.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Started taking lessons in 4th grade in elementary school. Had private lesson teachers also , including from player with the Austin Symphony. Played in classical ensembles as well as Country band in New York before returning to Texas when I started teaching as a profession in the year 2000..
