Parental and Student Responsibilities:
Practice with a goal of 6 days a week and a minimum of 5 days a week, 20 to 30 minutes a day. It is very important to have the consistency of daily practice in the beginning stages of learning the violin.
Attend weekly lessons with a minimum of interruption during the school year (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring break, illness, etc.). For younger students, it would be best to have a parent monitor their practicing for the first few months and also to remain through their lesson for at least a few months.
My Schedule:
I prefer to teach on Mondays, both daytime and after school. Please contact for specific schedule and openings.

Violin Recommendations:
For sizes smaller than a full-size violin (usually a full-size violin is needed about age 12, depending on height and arm length), it is best to rent until ready for a full-size.
For internet rentals, I recommend:
