"Bethany is one of the best violin and viola instructors I have had. She is extremely patient, welcoming, and encouraging. Having a teacher that is supportive is so important and I think because Bethany is so great at this she fueled my love for music. Her passion for teaching and for her student’s success is what makes her stand out and I would highly recommend her to anyone from beginner to advanced for violin and viola lessons! "

"I highly recommend Bethany as a violin teacher. She was my teacher from eighth grade through high school. She met me where I was at with my skills and structured my lessons to help me improve from there. She struck a good balance of practicing technical skills by working on different styles of music and through different scale and technical practice exercises. She allowed me to pursue my interests and was more than willing to help me prepare for a variety of recitals and auditions. I always felt comfortable and encouraged as a student, and I learned a lot in the time I was under her instruction."

 "Bethany is a gifted teacher and musician. She is patient, caring, and is able to teach students at all levels of musicianship. My sons are very different and both of them enjoyed their lessons with her. I feel fortunate that they were able to have her as a teacher, and am grateful for what she taught them. I've attended many of her students’ recitals. Her students come from diverse backgrounds and they played a variety of musical styles, but the common denominator was her being their teacher, helping them achieve their musical goals.

 "Bethany has been a great teacher, and was the first person to ever teach me how to play the violin. Bethany was always very patient and encouraging when it came to learning a new piece of music. She was also able to help me with any music that stretched across any genre. Bethany is a wonderful teacher who can teach from the very basics of the violin up to advanced techniques. It was an amazing experience to be one of her students.
