TESTIMONIALS
"Awesome as always! Lauren is simply the BEST! She is very patient and so knowledgeable! I learn so much at every lesson!!" - Chuck J., Private Student
"Lauren is a great instructor. She is somehow both quick and thorough and helped me significantly within the first 45 minutes. Couldn't be happier." - Ryan L., Private Student
"I just completed my first lesson with Lauren. I was hesitant as to how it would go because I know nothing about the violin or how to hold the bow. With that said, even though it has only been one lesson, I have complete confidence that Lauren will help me reach the goals I am looking to achieve. She has a wonderful calmness that makes you feel relaxed and competent." - Catherine P., Private Student
