Susie has over 20 years of experience as a violin teacher and welcomes students at all levels, and all ages, from 6 on up to adults. A growing body of research is showing that starting musical training at an early age enhances a child's brain development.

Her teaching style is friendly and supportive, and focused on making sure the students clearly understand the music they are reading and the physical motions necessary to play it in the most relaxed and pleasing manner.
