Making music fun
I hired Leah for violin lessons with my son. First, her Bio speaks for itself. When you work with her, you can tell she is skilled, knowledgeable and passionate. She is patient and absolutely brilliant. I didn't know how online lessons would work, but it just did. Not only is she teaching him correct form but also she guides him when he has to tune the violin as well. We have been with Leah for quite some time and really enjoy working with her. She keeps a smile and manages to make my kid smile is well. She is encouraging and makes learning fun. My son really enjoys learning cartoon theme songs and other pieces. He laughs when he realizes she knows the song too. Because of her care, my son has begun composing his own music (yes, I said composing). He writes, plays and laugh. If you're looking for a fun, knowledgeable and patient tutor. I highly recommend Ms. Leah.

very good
She was patient and took time with each section to make sure everything would sound good. She showed a lot of technique.

Excellent tutor
Leah is teaching my 8-year-old son, who wanted to learn violin but has no experience of any musical instrument. He can be impatient and easily distracted. Leah is very skilled and patient with him and keeps him encouraged and engaged through the difficulties with learning violin for the first time. I am looking forward to future lessons and highly recommend Leah especially for kids who are interested in violin.

Great teacher and lots of fun
Leah was great at both teaching and for my confidence. I’ve never once played the violin and she has instilled a great starting foundation. She was patient and kind and made sure I understood what she was teaching before moving on. She answered any question I had and even got me thinking of new ones. I very much look forward to working with her again.

So kind and helpful and encouraging!
Leah was very patient and so kind with my somewhat bashful kid. This was my 10 year old’s very first lesson...didn’t even know how to hold the violin when the lesson started. But Leah already had her playing a tune or two and major scale within an hour! Now my kid wants to practice and try more, so Leah gave the right mix of correction and confidence to continue. Highly recommended and will be looking for another lesson soon! A++++

Easy and well worth the money
Leah replied to my request for a lesson within half an hour. We set up the appointment and she sent us a zoom link to join. The process was super easy and my son says he thought Leah was 'really cool' - coming from a 16 year old I think that's pretty good!
