Theresa West

Theresa has over 6 years of violin teaching experience and 4 years of classroom music experience.

This enables students to progress technically, but see rewards from their learning early on. With a warm and empathetic nature. students always feel comfortable with Theresa. Her philosophies resonate with the creation of a safe and fun learning environment and encouraging students to have an appreciation for all styles of music.
