Hannah Garrett Violin Studio

I always offer a free trial lesson and consultation! We first look at age, prior experience (if any), and supplies needed. I love to hear what students are interested in learning, and incorporate that into my curriculum. 

I began playing the violin at age four. She began teaching violin lessons at the age of fifteen, and has had dozens of students over the years. I received her Bachelor Degree in Violin Performance in 2010 from Utah State University, studying with Yi Ching Fedkenheuer. Under the direction of former Fry Street Quartet violist Russell Fallstad, I helped restructure the Utah State University String Academy. During that time, I  planned recitals, concerts, group classes and special events for the program. I also taught Suzuki orientation classes to parents of beginning violinists. I was taught using the Suzuki method. She has completed several Suzuki teacher training courses, under acclaimed pedagogues Judy Bossuat, Mimi Zweig and Ronda Cole.

I knew from the age of four that I wanted to teach! When I was fifteen years old, I began receiving requests to teach my neighbors, friends, etc. Since then I have made it a career, and I enjoy every minute of it.

I’ve taught students from age 3-mid 60’s. I’ve had several students on the autism spectrum, and another student with Down Syndrome. Some of my students have had ADHD, and others have suffered trauma. I’ve taken transfer students at all ages, beginners in adulthood, and everything between that. 

Go with your gut! Read bios, but look for a good interpersonal fit. Personality is just as important as experience.

Think about what goals you may have in mind. Why you are deciding to pick up the violin, for example. Once you have that base, it’s fairly simple to go from there.
