Phyllis is absolutely wonderful. She is very knowledgeable and personable. She has the ability and patience to effectively communicate with her students both young and old offering an opportunity for learning at your own pace to achieve your goals and skills as an accomplished violinist.

She is a very kind, knowledgeable, and skilled teacher. She is encouraging and flexible with her availability. You will enjoy her as a teacher as my daughter- who has been a student of Ms. Loggins for 3 years, has enjoyed her!
