Hi! I teach private lessons in acting, singing, guitar, piano, violin, cello, and bass. I love giving private students the tools to reach their goals and I like seeing the joy in their faces when they accomplish something new. I hold my students to high standards and I set high expectations.

I teach beginners as well as proficient students of all ages. I help the student find their own sound and develop good technical approaches based on the individual's current abilities.

We value our students' desires to achieve their specific goals. Music education can merely be a hobby as students walk in. As they leave our weekly lessons, they start to open their minds on the endless possiblities of what they can do with music, from composition, performance or simply as an outlet. We enjoy the experience of watching our students move up in different levels. Our teachers get the satisfaction of teaching and seeing many of the students achieve goals they were not aware they could accomplish in a short amount of time....

It is always pleasure to work with young people who want to learn and improve their playing and to make and create music together. I put all my knowledge into teaching them and preparing for entering the college or university. If you want to have unforgetable time during the lessons

She studied violin through high school and college, and received a BA in Communications with a Minor in Music from Georgia State University. After a lifelong study of the violin, Erin began to play the viola as a happy accident. As an undergraduate student in college, Erin’s chamber music group needed a violist to play the Schubert Trout Quintet. Never one to turn down a challenge, Erin jumped right in and never looked back. She has played viola in addition to the violin ever since. Erin’s studio is in Greenp...
