Mr. Glymph is a dedicated and experienced violin teacher, who will not only give you the tools you need to improve, but encourage a passionate love for music. Over the years, he has taught all of my three daughters violin. Out of all the teachers we have had, he has been, and continues to be, by far the most detailed, comprehensive, and effective teacher. He has a thorough lesson plan for wherever you are in your violin journey with intensive learning systems for scales, etude, pieces etc. He also supplements his lessons with CDs and DVDs about violin/musicianship. All of this comes at a reasonable price. My daughters have improved tremendously with him. We are very happy with Mr. Glymph, and if you practice, you will be too!

Mr. Glymph was charismatic in his teaching and devoted to making sure that you learn things the proper way. He was very knowledgable, he knew the styles and techniques that allowed you to become a great violinist. His knowledge and experience as a violinist, gave him the necessary tools to be able to demonstrate those same styles and bowing techniques and give examples himself on the violin. He made sure you understood the fundamentals in music theory and the structure of what you were working on, whether it was a concerto, an etude or a scales exercise. Lessons were interesting and he kept you motivated. During his lessons you knew that he not only cared about the material being taught but you knew he wanted you to succeed. Mr. Glymph was not only your teacher but he was your friend. Its been over 20 years since our first lesson together and I can honestly say that he has taught me so much about music, the art of violin playing as well as given my guidance, taught me structure and helped shape me in becoming the person I am today, Thank you Mr. G.

Mr. Glymphs teaching improved my technical base a huge amount. After taking lessons with Mr. G I went to college ready to tackle orchestral music on my own and excel in my private lessons. He is a kind but strict teacher who has high expectations for his students but also cares about them deeply.

Mr. Glymph was one of the most important teachers in my life. He transformed my playing. His systematic approach got me from being a clueless young player to a thoughtful calculating musician. After working with Mr Glymph for nearly ten years I became a confident violin player and I had the tools necessary to play any music on the violin. Mr Glymph became more than a teacher, he became a mentor and a father figure. Through our time together, he guided me to follow my passion for the violin and study in college. Following Mr Glymphs footsteps, I myself became an orchestra director in 2005. I only hope I can inspire and train my students as well as Mr. Glymph trained me. If you are serious about improving your playing, I highly recommend violin lessons with Mr Glymph.

Joseph Glymph was my violin teacher during my senior year of high school, but I started playing with his orchestras,The Protege Philharmonic and The Classical Symphony, when I was a freshman in high school. He is not only a fine violinist, but a dedicated, knowledgeable, and compassionate teacher. Whether it was through his conducting, or his teaching, he always made me see music in a different and interesting way. I also loved how he was able to identify technical issues in my playing, and always had exercises and etudes I could study to fix them in the most efficient way possible. I know he has had many students over the years, and that they have gone on to do some great things. I’m glad I got the chance to learn from him. It’s definitely one of the reasons I won my current position with the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra. I truly believe any student will see, hear, and feel the benefits from studying with him.

Mr. Glymph has been one of the most influential teachers I have ever had. I started lessons a few months before the college audition and came in knowing nothing about the technique and how to hold my instrument correctly. Mr. Glymph was very kind and motivating to give me a chance to learn and excel in playing the violin. With his expertise and encouragement, I made it into college almost with a full scholarship and now teach Orchestra at a public school. Mr. Glymph has inspired me to become a teacher and I am forever grateful for his hard work and for believing in me.
