The studio
What students can expect
All Ages & Levels
Gretel loves working with an array of age levels! Young children, older beginners, and even adults learning the violin and making music for the first time are all part of her studio.
Performance Opportunities
Recitals are given at the end of each semester. Students perform solos, duets, and advanced students perform both parts of the Bach Double Violin Concerto in concert. Students are also encouraged to perform book recitals when a Suzuki book is mastered. High School seniors are encouraged to perform a senior recital, showcasing skills before graduation.
Teaching philosophy
Gretel believes every student can find joy in making music. Lessons blend a solid technical foundation with pieces students love, keeping motivation high while steadily building skill, musicianship, and confidence. She believes anyone can learn, and that fostering a genuine love of music leaves a lasting impact well beyond the lessons themselves.
