As a senior male, Marna discovered at our first session the processes I didn't know and developed a lesson plan that suited my shortcomings. Marna has been exceptionally patient and understands how to correct my specific learning needs. Intuitively she knows how to apply her 50 years of teaching knowledge into something tangible for me to learn. Over the past two weeks, for an example, I was to memorize a specific piece of music - last week she encouraged me to continue on, today she had a new lesson plan already in place - somehow she knew. When I arrived today and stated I was having difficulty learning the piece, her response was leave it for a bit, you are still training your fingers and enhancing your brain into a new environment. I am so grateful for her understanding and the ability to acknowledge and correct my weaknesses. Out of two other instructors I have had, Marna is the best I have worked with and I will resume lessons when we come back to AZ in the fall. She is the best!! John Hendriks

Marna is one of the best violin teachers we have worked with. My children have had several teachers throughout the years and Marna has the perfect balance of serious and sweet. She demands good technique and pitch which is what makes her students such good players. She tailors her approach to each child and is patient and kind. She is educated in so many areas (classical, fiddling, Mariachi, piano, etc.) that she is able to help in whatever area you or you children might need. I highly recommend her!
