  • I've been teaching private music lessons for over 20 years. In October of 2008 I found a wonderful space for a music studio, and Tartan Tundra Music was born.

    Instruments taught:

    Violin/Fiddle:in many styles including Classical, Celtic, Old Timey, Alaskan, International (Russian, Scandinavian, Eastern European) and more.

    Mandolin: Mainly in Old Timey and Celtic styles, but the mandolin is just as versatile as the violin and can be used in many wonderful kinds of music.

    Guitar: Folk, rock, oldies, Celtic... Ukulele: One of the most amusing and fun instruments ever! And great for beginners of all ages!

    Viola: A viola is larger than a violin with a lovely, deep sound, but the method of playing is the same as violin.

    Bodhrán: Irish drum. There is an art to this, it isn't just whacking away on a drum head. Fun and interesting.

    Vocal Coaching: I can help you get your voice out in the open and help you sing.

Take Music Lessons via Skype, Facetime or Google

  • Taking Distance Lessons
    Distance Lessons are $36 per half hour, and $54 for 45 minutes. Lessons are taken via various apps such as Facetime, Zoom, or Google Meet. I prefer FaceTime for the quality and ease of use, but there are many ways to connect. You must have a web camera and have the app for one of on your computer, laptop, tablet or phone. Also, please let me know which one you want to use!

Our Winter Recital is on December 5. And we will start choosing music right away! I have some FUN group pieces planned. This is a good time to start thinking about what you'd like to play/sing.I'm very excited about our recital. It will even involve a group work party to construct some simple scenery....just you wait, it's going to be great!

See you in October!
