“Charlene has been teaching our daughter Sarah for the past 7 years. She is much more than a wonderful violin teacher holding up Sarah up to high standards; she is also a natural pedagogue evolving her teaching as our daughter becomes older and requires a new teaching approach.”

“I am very happy to see how much progress my two daughters Camila (10) and Catalina (8) have made with the violin since they started taking classes with Charlene two and half years ago. Charlene is an excellent teacher, who guides them and sets clear expectations as to how they should practice and how to improve their technical skills. She is also very supportive, and knows how to keep them interested in learning; challenging them with new pieces with different levels of difficulty. My daughters love their lessons, and take great pride in their achievements and their ability to make beautiful music. I would recommend Charlene as a teacher enthusiastically and without reservations.”

“Charlene is an amazing violin instructor who has taught my son Paul for the past three years. She has a wonderful approach to teaching, keeping the lessons fresh and stimulating for my son who can get easily distracted and fidgety. I know she enjoys teaching and brings an excitement to Paul’s music experience. He looks forward to his lessons and takes pride in himself when he does well and is focused, this is in no small part due to Charlene’s interaction with him. She is always happy to answer any questions and clarify any concerns I may have. She is without a doubt the main reason he has continued to practice the violin and why he enjoys it. Charlene has given my son an appreciation of music and helped to instill in him the hard work and dedication it takes to play his instrument hopefully for a lifetime. ”
