I enjoyed every violin lesson with Yardley in Preston Heights, making each one both informative and fun and I can now say that it was the best decision I took in years! I am an adult learner and I the way Yardley handled my queries and answered it patiently made it easy for me to learn violin! I was able to improve my finger placements and how I read music and my classical pieces are so fun to practice even without her. Highly recommend Yardley for anyone looking for violin lessons.

My violin lessons with Yardley , a lively and imaginative instructor, have been focused on exploring folk melodies and their embellishments. She guided me in modifying my bow technique to emphasize the inherent pulse of this genre. This style is a stark contrast to classical repertoire and has injected a new vibrancy into my playing.

Getting into Baroque felt kind of overwhelming at first but Yardley ’s deep knowledge and chill coaching made it progressive. Her tips on bow weight and articulation totally changed how I play Telemann and it feels way more real now.

My daughter is enrolled for Emmeline's Violin lessons in Yardley . She helped her with her tone and confidence did not know that she would move from book 1 to 2 this early. lucky to have her as my daughter's tutor.

In Midtown Gainesville, I found my violin instructor Yardley who guided me and helped me find the right balance between technical rigor and maintaining creativity. Her tranquil approach to instruction has been very beneficial and helped me boost my confidence as I now participate in Local recitals without much fear!

Games and rhythmic clapping mixed with fiddle tunes have truly captured my energetic 9-year-old’s attention, making each Violin lessson enjoyable. Yardley is the first teacher to inspire my son to ask for extra practice!

The Violin lessons in Great Kills have been outstanding. Yardley simplifies challenging ideas and builds an encouraging setting where students feel both motivated and capable.
