    About Rachel P.

    I have a Bachelor of Music Degree from the University of Michigan and a Master of Music degree with an outside field in string pedagogy from Indiana University. I travel the world as a performer, playing in solo, chamber music and orchestral settings but I also really love to teach. I teach at the collegiate level at Pacific Union College and Napa College, have an active private studio (both violin and viola) and also teach group violin classes, string orchestra and a pre-orchestra music program with an El Sistema program. I studied pedagogy with Mimi Zweig and teach primarily through her method (a combination of Suzuki and Rolland ideas) but have also picked up my own style along the way. I offer lessons for primarily classical style violin and viola.
