Welcome from Susie
If you're a parent of a young beginner, you want someone to engage your child, foster a love of music, and kindle any natural talent, someone careful and precise to instill good habits, all while making it fun. You'll want to see your child's continued interest and progress from week to week.
Lessons with Ms. Susie really helped me fix the thing I was doing wrong. She’s kind and explains things in a way I can understand them.

If you're a high-school student looking toward a career in music, you want someone who knows the business and the standards necessary for success, someone with insight and technique and the ability to pass them on. Someone who knows about auditions.
The 6 years I've been doing violin with Susie have taught me to be particular about the little things I might not have always noticed.

If you're an adult in a community orchestra and need help negotiating the repertoire, you want someone who's familiar with orchestra playing, who's encountered and solved the problems you're facing, and who can make difficult music easier.
Susie is a fantastic teacher for adult students! She's helped me so much with technique, while at the same time making sure I have a good balance of enjoyable songs to work on. She's very patient and has many innovative suggestions for areas that are challenging for me.
