Joe is a very talented violin teacher. He knows how to teach difficult concepts and thinks carefully about how a student learns best. He is also easy going which makes lessons stress free and enjoyable. As an adult coming back to the violin after many years, wanting to play for enjoyment (not needing another thing to stress about) his teaching style is a great fit. I’m sure he would be great for a more ambitious student as well.

My 5 year old son has excelled with the gifts of Teacher Joes engaging violin instruction, patience and kindness. I sit in on the lessons and likewise pull a great deal of useful information from our time together, although my son remains the superior violinist. Joe is a great teacher for all ages.

My 12 year old daughter has been taking violin lessons with Joseph for two years and we are delighted with everything about her experience. Joseph is a splendid musician himself, setting an example of what excellence looks and sounds like. And, he is truly a wonderful teacher, having all the qualities students and parents would wish... technical expertise, clear explanations and teaching methods, great organization and communication, and also patience, kindness, good humor, all with just the right blend of understanding along with expectations for achievement. My daughters playing skill and enjoyment of the instrument has improved dramatically while learning from Joseph.
