String Academy of Nashville

Hi, it's been a minute. We've gone to a new studio model ---travel teaching and a brick and mortar location in 37206.
Reach out if you are interested in creative, individualized instruction in violin or viola.

I only have a couple of vacancies right now, but next school year I'll have 4 openings from graduating seniors. Contact me now to be at the top of the list.

Sorry, I'm not a fiddler, but I know some great ones. If that's what you're looking for, you can still drop me a note and I can refer you.

I also have some great cello and piano teaching friends --just ask!
