Violin with Cathy W.

Cathy's Music Studio

I have had several violin students sporadically for over 20 years. I taught one student from Elementary School through High School before getting my degree in Violin Performance and teaching on a regular basis. I prefer to teach in my home, but I will travel to students' home if I can fit it into my time.

I have been playing music for over 40 years. I began teaching, on a steady basis, in a music store and at my home after receiving my degree from Oct. 2008-Sept. 2009 in Southeast Texas. After moving in Sept. of 2009 to Scottsdale, AZ, I had 1 student through the TakeLessons Program. I moved again in August, 2011 back to Mesquite, TX and began teaching in a local school system for the 2011-2014 school terms. I began teaching in a local Music Store from June, 2013. I was also teaching in the Allegro Music Store in Phoenix, Az from 2017 to December, 2019. I moved back to Texas in January, 2020. I am in the process of recruiting students.
