About Kendra R.
4.9
(62)
Hello and thanks for visiting my webpage on Take Lessons. My name is Kendra, and I have been performing and teaching professionally for over 30 years. I received my performance training at Colorado University in Boulder and Brandon University in Manitoba, Canada. My career as a teacher, recording artist, and performer in classical, jazz, blues, traditional and contemporary worship, folk, American/Irish fiddle, pop, and latin music has enabled me to tailor my students learning experience. I look forward to helping you learn to play, improve, enrich your life, and meet your musical goals.

Kendra is fantastic! She is enthusiastic, challenging, & kind. She is flexible with practice times given my son’s busy schedule. She is consistent & on time! I cannot say enough about how much we value Kendra’s support! My son has been taking in-home viola lessons with her for the past couple of years and has made steady progress. He looks forward to his lessons, even during the summer months! He is part of Asheville Symphony Youth Orchestra & made the leap from chamber group to concert orchestra this past year. Good stuff! Thanks Kendra! 😁
