After you have contacted us you will be invited to observe a lesson with your child. During the lesson you will begin to form an understanding of the Suzuki philosophy.

We will schedule a brief one on one parent consultation. This time will be used to answer your questions, provide additional information, and discuss your child’s readiness to begin instrumental instruction. During your time of observation we ask that you read Nurtured By Love and Ability Development from Age Zero.

During my graduate work at the University of Denver I started running a Suzuki Strings program at a private school in Denver and continued teaching private Suzuki violin and viola lessons at my home studio.

I work with students of all ages. Most of my students are 3 years old through adults. I accept students of all abilities and levels.

I enjoy attending and teaching at the Colorado Suzuki Association Fall Festival each year. I'm also a huge fan of the Colorado Symphony!

I highly recommend selecting a teacher that you feel will be a good fit with your family. I recommend choosing a Suzuki teacher that is trained at least through book 8, has a masters degree in music, offers group classes, and is commited to continuing education.

Students need to consider when they will practice. When looking at your schedule, make sure that you think about what times you are available for lessons AND for practice. If you are only available for lessons one afternoon a week think very carefully about whether or not you are too busy to take lessons. Students are expected to practice at least five days a week in addition to their weekly lesson, group classes, workshops, and recitals.
