I’m an adult just starting out on the violin. Golding in Oak Creek makes each lesson both useful and fun. We work on classical skills but also play folk songs, which keeps things interesting and balanced.

To dive into the world of movie soundtracks was inspired by Golding . Together, we adapted themes for solo violin and focused on bringing out emotion through expressive technique.
