Terrie said: excellent teacher, very patient, lots of one to one time

Brenda said: I learnt so much! We got very personal attention to our different skill needs. I believe it was very challenging for our teacher because people in the group were of very different levels (violin and general music skills), still, we received all the feedback we needed and I enjoyed every single class. I really hope there's a continuation so we don't lose practice and can continue learning this difficult instrument.
