"Our 14 year old son wanted to take violin lessons. To say that we are thankful to have found Julie would be an understatement. Her experience, professiona

Review by Debra
"We have been more than happy with Mrs Julie's teaching. She came highly recommended from a couple of our friends. She is very passionate about teaching a
nd focuses on having good technique as well as learning songs. She has been very patient (which can be trying at times with a 7 year old)!! Our granddaughter is eager to go to her lesson each week and also ready to practice since she loves the rewards she earns from Mrs Julie. We have been more that satisfied with our grandchilds progress and love the way she is encouraged to do her best by Julie. I would highly recommend Julie and can't wait to see what the future holds for our "little violinist"!!"

About Nathan
I have been teaching private lessons for close to 10 years and have been an active performer for even longer, playing in all different types of groups, from rock bands and jazz groups to orchestras and brass bands. I studied music at Frostburg State University (Bachelors) and the Peabody Conservatory (Masters). I can teach just about any age and skill level and cover anything you are interested in learning; whether its a certain style, genre, technique or song.
*** Lesson Details ***
My lessons are laid back, with a focus on perfecting the basics. Most students work out of a method book appropriate to their skill level. Aside from that we'll also spend time learning songs and pieces of the students choice. With the right amount of effort, you'll know your way around your instrument in no time at all

About Matthew
I started playing trumpet in grade school and was in the marching band the first year of high school. I then switched to playing upright bass in the orchestra. This led to me being a part of the jazz band and playing instrumentals for school musicals. Upon graduation time, I received the gold medal for music performance in strings. I was also an AP music theory student. After, I pursued a bachelor's degree in music and took education courses. I have tutored music theory and given instrument lessons, but they were always self employed or from the university.
I wish to help others make music an enjoying part of their lives, as it is in mine.
