Going back to violin during college freshman year was harder than I thought but Hawthorne Byant's violin lessons in Fisher Park made it manageable. she helped me rebuild my basics and now she's also helping me prepare for audition for my university’s chamber group.

My 13 year old was nervous about her sxhool solo but Hawthorne made a huge difference in her life through her violin lessons in Kingswood Parke. She worked on dynamics and articulation and even sent video feedback. The performance went better than we hoped.

Hawthorne knows how to make violin lessons interactive and fun, she taught my 7-year-old son a rhyme on violin and she is obsessed.

With Hawthorne guidance my son did not just pick up the violin she also developed a genuine passion for classical music in Cambodia Town. Her lessons blend solid technique with creativity making each session both educational and inspiring.

Hawthorne discovered violin-friendly adaptations for my daughter's favourite movie soundtracks when she expressed her desire to do so. No one even asks her to practise anymore.
