"I love Fiddle Jive Studio and the structure of Monica's lessons! As an adult learner, I was really concerned about how horrible I'd sound, and thought I'd be overly frustrated learning to play the fiddle in my 60s. Instead, I get encouragement and enjoy all the progress, however slow it may be."

"Monica is a truly gifted fiddle instructor! She has revived a love of playing in me, and has inspired my six year old to learn. Her approach is tailored to each individual, and her experience as a kindergarten teacher means she is an expert with the little ones - my daughter is evidence of that! She is also quite a talented musician and it is so fun to play along with her in lessons. We are so excited we get to work with Monica, she’s one of the best!"

"Monica is a wonderful fiddle teacher. She is a talented, organized musician who easily assesses the learning ability of each student. Monica customizes the learning experience in a positive and cheerful way. She selects the most appropriate music for her students and kindly helps the student improve rapidly. She is very encouraging. I always come away from a lesson feeling confident I can learn anything!"

"Wonderful teacher! My daughter loves Monica. She had never played an instrument before and is learning very quickly!"
-Megan Whitaker
"My daughter began fiddle lessons with Monica in March, 2023. With a hands on approach, Monica has furthered my daughters’ love of the instrument. She is patient, and kind, and promotes an encouraging, positive atmosphere for learning. Monica is well prepared for each weekly lesson, but is also very flexible, always interested in ideas from my daughter about new songs she’d like to try. If your child is interested in learning to fiddle, I highly recommend Monica as an instructor."
