My son was nervous about her orchestra audition, but Elmwood ’s lessons in Chevy Chase Canyon gave her the confidence and skills she needed.

I started lessons with Elmwood in Downtown Bakersfield without any background in string instruments and feeling pretty anxious. Her supportive teaching style helped me build a solid foundation she guided me through posture basics, introduced me to the Suzuki method, and always offered thoughtful, encouraging feedback.

I really enjoy my violin lessons! Elmwood makes learning fun and helps me fix mistakes without making me feel bad. I’ve gotten better at reading sheet music and playing with good posture.

My daughter had a tough time moving from viola back to violin, but Elmwood made the transition so much smoother with her clear understanding of finger spacing and clef reading, things started to click. Now my daughter’s feeling proud and excited as she gets ready for her high school orchestra concert.

Elmwood focuses on improving my technique, but she is always encouraging and makes me feel comfortable. she never makes me nervous, and her positive attitude helps me stay confident. Thanks to her support, I feel more motivated to learn and practice. she explains things clearly, and I can see myself improving. I’m really grateful for her help and the way she makes learning enjoyable and less stressful.

Thanks to dedicated violin sessions at Indianapolis, I improved my scales, sight-reading, and ensemble skills, and with Elmwood ’s support, I successfully joined the school orchestra.

Focusing on dynamics, articulation, and stage presence in her Violin lessons, Elmwood in Downtown Tucson showed great progress, earning a merit in her ABRSM Grade 3 exam and now moves on to Grade 4 with even more enthusiasm.
