Review by Clarke
"Ms. Jessica is just awesome! She understands students, sets high expectations, and gives students what they need to meet those expectations. My 6yr old
daughter looks forward to her violin lesson every week and feels inclined to practice during the week. I wholly attribute my daughter's attitude and outlook toward the violin to Ms. Jessica's teaching!"

Review by Francis French
"I worked with Jon Harmon in a museum education department (I am now director of education at a different museum) and I have observed him at other educatio
n jobs also. Jon brings a passion and enthusiasm to his work that inspires and encourages students. He brings sometimes dry subject matter to life, with humor and with a deep understanding of the content. I can highly recommend him."

I was very much a beginner when I started taking lessons with Andrew. He was extremely helpful, and catered the lessons to wha
t I wanted to pursue musically. He always made the lessons fun, challenging, and interesting. I took lessons at his home studio. It was a very comfortable and welcoming environment. The only reason I'm not taking lessons with him anymore is because I'm moving. Overall, he's a great teacher and I would highly recommend him to people of any skill level."
