Performing solo on the violin at Concord events became possible for me, thanks to Watten ’s support in helping me overcome my confidence issues.

The topic of violin class in Bloomington was all my daughter could talk about. Fun call and response songs and animal activities for bow grip were part of Watten education. At home, she is already doing brief works.

Watten is a fantastic violin instructor. My 6 year old daughter takes her classes in Streeterville and the way she balances enjoyment with structure has really helped my child stay motivated and grow steadily.
