      • Rebecca is a very organized and conscientious violin teacher. She is excellent at teaching children from a variety and ages and skills level. - Kendra, parent

      • Rebecca has been my daughter's violin instructor of over two years now. My daughter started lessons at the age of 8 and had no experience with music lessons. Rebecca was very patient, and helped her get comfortable with reading music, and slowly built on the progress made each week. She is very patient and kind, which is important since my daughter is a bit of an introvert and needs help coming out of her shell. Over two years later, my daughter is doing so well, has learned and grown so much, and even decided to take up another instrument. I would highly recommend Rebecca if you are looking for a strings instructor. You can tell she enjoys teaching and has a love for music, which she shares with her students! - Jamie Vaughn, parent
