John Castore Violin
About
John Castore offers Violin and/or Viola Lessons, and still finds time to perform here and there.
He teaches 6 days a week at the Rhode Island Philharmonic music school but still tries to make room for personal students as well!
He can be reached at [email protected] because this website now charges money to respond to an inquiry.
"There's nothing more refreshing than getting to offer a service to an eager listener about concepts I have spent my entire life specializing in. It's uplifting! 'Positive, and rewarding."
