 Kacie and Colin have varying rates and availability so please inquire for more information.

I am happy to teach any visiting students from the mainland and internationally, as long as I have an opening in my schedule. I often get requests from Japanese families during the summer months to teach them for a month or two during their stay in Hawaii.


Group Class 

Group Classes are held once a month (usually on a Friday afternoon) for the Pre-Twinkle and the Book 1-3 Level. The fee is $15.00 per student. Group Class is not a substitute for private lessons, and all students must be taking private lessons with an accredited teacher of the Suzuki Association of Hawaii. Students of other violin studios may attend my group class as long as they are paying their annual membership dues to SAH. Please consult me for more info.
Group class is an excellent opportunity to work on memory skills, communication, cooperation, listening, playing with and in front of others, and confidence. We will play games, practice the repertoire, work on technique... all in a fun atmosphere among students of a similar age group and level. It is generally suited for the younger ages, not adults or teens.
