TESTIMONIALS

"Lydia was my daughter's violin instructor for several years and she did an amazing job at not only teaching the violin, she was also an inspiring mentor for her as a developing musician. My daughter has since transitioned onto the guitar, but when she picks up her violin to play the most frequent comment I hear is how precise her playing is. When they learn that Lydia was her teacher, they immediately recognize Lydia's influence in her playing. " - Laura P., parent
