I hold bachelor of music and master of arts degrees.  I have over 25 years of experience teaching piano, violin, viola, and cello.  I am also a composer with 18 published pieces of middle school and high school orchestra music.  My favorite part of teaching is instilling the love of music in my students.

Cindy helped us in our viola session  where we exactly needed her assistance.very satisfied

Cindy is very knowledgeable.  This was our first lesson, and she was able to direct me to areas where I need improvement...she definitely tailored the lesson to my learning needs...

Very professional. Recommend Cindy. She also has a good teaching plan that goes at a good pace. When you look back half way, makes you feel accomplished.

Great first practice. I was nervous alittle going in and Cindy was reassuring for me. I look forward to many more practices.

Cindy is a positive and encouraging instructor, and her attention to detail is so appreciated. I'm learning a lot on viola with her - highly recommend her as a teacher.

My daughter enjoys her lessons with Cindy. Cindy makes piano fun.

Cindy is friendly but very thorough in her teaching. She was able to easily help
Me sound heaps better even after my first lesson. I can’t wait to practise what I have learned and be ready for my next lesson!

Cindy has been great helping my daughter along her piano-playing journey. I'm impressed by how quickly my daughter has improved, learned, and advanced in her skill level in such a short time.

As an adult beginner to violin, I was delighted to find someone as knowledgeable as Cindy to work with. She balances teaching technique, music theory, and musicality, providing constructive feedback unique to each lesson. Cindy's patience is emblematic of someone who works well with children as well as adults, and her professional and approachable nature makes for excellent communication despite the distance learning. I highly recommend Cindy to anyone looking to take up a new instrument!

Cindy is very patient and makes things straightforward fmto understand. She mees you where you are with your skills set which was invaluable for me as a beginner.
