Student contracts are due! Please return them to me, read and signed by student and parent, at your next lesson.
I now also teach viola! Come learn about the deeper, richer tone the viola can make!
Group classes are kindly hosted by one of our awesome parents. Check your latest newsletter for the address.
Group classes are open to all my students. Come have fun, meet your fellow students, and learn some cool stuff! Please bring your instrument and music.
I'll be moving to my own studio in June. The new studio address will be 206 39th Ave SW, Puyallup. Check back soon for more details!
I strongly encourage everyone to attend at least one concert a year, more if you can.
