Sweet Music

I like to discuss options over the internet or phone before we begin, to get to know you better and see how I can help

I have a BA in Music and certificates in violin, performance, and chamber music coaching from the New England Conservatory of Music, the Conservatory at Rivers, the Apple Hill Center for Chamber Music, and Hampshire College.  With coursework in Jazz from UMass Amherst, Music Theory from Mt. Holyoke College, Violin performance from Smith College and Ethnomusicology and Composition from Amherst College, I took psychology of music, with related coursework in art, design and photography at Hampshire College.  

Most students take weekly hour long lessons, however I am open to working with you and your schedule. For example, some students take 30 minute lessons every week for every other week.  Please visit my website to learn more about my rates. I offer discounts for veterans, seniors over 70 and college students. 

My mother was a teacher as was my grandmother.  It's in my blood.

I have worked primarily with adults, however I have had children over 9 years of age over the years

I love weddings.  Recently, I planned a wedding for a young couple in Vermont.  It was sensational.

Be prepared to focus and do some every day
