    About Margaret G.

    (77)
    I am a professional violin and fiddle instructor offering online lessons for kids and adults including adult beginners. I have performed in orchestras, chamber music groups, wedding music ensembles, bluegrass bands, and country bands. I have played violin since 1988 and taught since 2003. I hold a Bachelor of Music (violin performance) from San Francisco State University and an A.A. in Comprehensive Musicianship (music theory and performance) from De Anza College. I offer weekly lessons, or lessons on a schedule as you go basis only, not biweekly or other schedules. I offer online violin and fiddle lessons only. At this time I do not offer studio or in person lessons. Please message me before booking lessons with me. Cancellation and reschedule policy: I have 24 hour cancellation policy (24 hours notice required to cancel without being charged for the lesson). I will always attempt to reschedule lessons, but may not always be able to, especially with requested reschedules within 24 hours of the original lesson time, lessons that were rescheduled within 24 hours of the lesson time at the student's request may not be canceled, and must be paid for whether you attend the lesson or not, and the same lesson cannot be rescheduled more than once. If you request that your lesson be rescheduled to occur during a week in which you already have a lesson scheduled, you must agree that you will pay for both lessons you have scheduled for that week, and will not cancel either of them, whether you attend the lessons or not. Other schedule policies/schedule as you go FAQ: I only offer weekly lessons, or lessons on a schedule as you go basis, not biweekly lessons or other schedules. If you don't want a lesson at a fixed time, or a lesson every week, schedule as you go may work for you. The way schedule as you go works, is students set up each lesson separately, for the time and date of their choice, seven days or less before the day of the lesson. Schedule as you go lessons, or single lessons can't be set up earlier than seven days in advance of the planned lesson date. Schedule as you go lessons do not have a recurring or reserved time. I only offer weekly lessons at a recurring or reserved time. If you must cancel more than two lessons recurring schedule lessons in a row, we will need to cancel your recurring schedule time if you have one, and switch to schedule as you go.

    Margaret is a fantastic instructor! She is kind, patient, and a brilliant musician. I was nervous to start learning an instrument as an adult, but Margaret has been so helpful and encouraging. I always look forward to my weekly lesson :)

    Margaret is great! She is great at tailoring lessons to my knowledge and interests, and she's great at being nonjudgmental and helpful when I struggle with things. I am a new fiddler, and she has helped me learn some very fun songs and techniques already!
