    Jessica was always very nice and understanding if I had to skip a lesson. She taught me very well, helped me understand music better, and helped me become much better at my instrument.

    My daughter started taking online violin class in May 2021 and her progress and motivation to play this instrument has been fantastic. My daughter never play the violin and she wanted to try it and having a teacher that is caring and patient like Jessica has made help my daughter to have a great learning experience with this wonderful music instrument. Thank you, Jessica!!
