Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Music = joy! Technique is important but joy and sensitivity is where it's at! I assist my students with not just how to play the notes but also how to listen and how to groove! My musical style is primarily fiddle but I like experimenting and pushing my limits. I've been playing fiddle for 25 years and teaching since 2006. I love what I do and I love helping to create experiences of personal satisfaction that lead to intrinsic motivation and sheer joy! ​ I am available for both in person and online lessons. Looking forward to working with you!

I can’t say enough good things about Colleen! She is a talented musician who writes and performs her own music, and she is a phenomenal instructor – patient, responsive, and kind. She has a soft-spoken, gentle manner, yet she is persistent in her efforts to get the most out of her students; she won’t let them settle for mediocrity. I have lessons with Colleen once a week, but I’m in touch with her throughout the week. She sends me sheet music, recordings of her playing, anything that she thinks will help me practice. On top of being a great instructor, Colleen helps her students connect with the fiddle community in Bellingham. She frequently invites me to local events, and she makes sure I know about festivals and workshops in the area. I feel very lucky to have found Colleen and I highly recommend her!

Colleen is amazing. I am a new adult violin player and she is the most patient and observant instructor. I would highly recommend her!!
