“Jane has shown herself to be a gifted teacher and an inspiration to her students as she taught the Home School Strings Advanced Class this past year.
Jane worked for two hours each week with a group of about 20 strings players. She selected repertoire for the class, perfected the pieces, and ultimately performed them in concerts. She also spent time each week teaching technique. I personally always enjoyed listening to her class perform in concert because she selected a variety of music appealing to many musical tastes, and it was always executed very well. Jane also arranged an extra concert at a local retirement home which was greatly appreciated by the residents.
I have also observed Jane as a private violin teacher and have been impressed with her ability to inspire her students to excellence.”
