“Our son has loved working with Taylor over the past year. Taylor has a flexible approach and has adapted perfectly to the sort of instruction and areas of focus that are most valuable to my son and the sort of music he's interested in playing. Taylor does this while still nudging him in a way that makes sure he is developing and refining his technique as a violinist.”
