Participating in Jolene ’s technique workshops for piano lessons at the Civic Center significantly improved my bowing skills and infused my tone with a beautiful warmth and richness.

Gained fresh inspiration in Paradise Valley after Jolene advanced bowing insights his feedback on ricochet and spiccato was sharp, musical, and truly respected my teaching experience.

Playing and learning Violin on my own used to feel frustating, but working with Jolene in the loop changed that. his lessons gave me the control and the right techniques which I needed. he also made me read sheet music.his patience, sense of humor, and understanding of adult learning made every lesson both enjoyable and motivating.

I began taking Violin session with Jolene which turned out to be very amazing as he helped a lot in enhancing skills and it was an incredible experience. I being an adult beginner, it was slightly difficult for me to cope up with others who are learning for years, but Jolene always encouraged me and never let me feel insecure.

Jolene helped my daughter learn the violin at Weat Side and also built his confidence. Now he loves to do duets with his friends. he has also participated in the church choir.

Structure mixed with creativity is what keeps my teen from getting bored, and that’s exactly what Jolene brings. They just performed a tango piece for school and nailed all the tricky parts.

The transition made by Jolene from classical violin to bluegrass smooth and enjoyable. He introduced me to essential techniques like shuffle bowing and guided me through the basics of improvisation in a way that really clicked. His personalized approach gave me the confidence to take part in local jam sessions, and now I feel right at home playing with other musicians.

When he was nine, my daughter had confidence issues. Jolene emphasised his strengths with brief solos and expressive phrasing exercises. These days, he performs at school performances in Bayard Park.
