Bellevue location - Bridle Trails area. Close to 405/520 Interchange. I take beginning through college. I use traditional methods (no Suzuki) we learn to read notes and count right away. I believe in enjoying music and learning the joy of hard work . I work with serious students. I can help you if you are struggling in school, but you will have to work for me. I have an undergrad and masters in performance (Whitman College, UW) and more than 20 years experience teaching. My students play in SYSO and BYSO. I am currently on MITC staff. My major teachers have been mostly Russian trained. I understand that not everyone who wants to play well wants to do this for a living. When we meet, tell me your goals and we will make a plan to get you to the level that you want to be playing at.
