I am Experienced teaching music privately in my own studio for way more than 20 years. I teach piano and violin mostly, and at times voice and accordion. I also have experience teaching in several public schools and at the University Community School of Music at the University of Central Arkansas. Have taught at McLennan Community College as well.
Average about 45-55 private students for many years. Taught hundreds of students private music lessons over a 25 year or so period from ages 6 to 88. I actually lost count of how many. And I love it! It is my full-time job. It is Joyful.
Please Contact me if you are interested in Private Piano Or Violin / Fiddle lessons.
My email: tabcat7@gmail.com is the best way to contact me. People have contacted me also by leaving a phone message and the best time to return the call. The phone number is below. Robot calls and spam have made it difficult to answer the phone if it is an unknown number. But I do get the messages that you leave me. Also I teach a lot of people and it is a one woman business so please have patience with me. I am interested in you.
