Testimonials - Building Skill, Confidence & a Love for Music
At Frederick Talent Education, I take pride in nurturing not only technical excellence, but also dedication, confidence, and expressive artistry. My students consistently demonstrate their hard work and growth by earning top ratings and honors through the American String Teachers Association’s ASTACAP program.
These strong results reflect the structured instruction, consistent home practice, and musical care that define my teaching.
ASTACAP examiners have praised my students with comments such as:
🎻 "Your performance was well prepared—solid in every element with a steady tempo and organized technique."
🎻 "Good balanced left-hand technique. A super steady rhythm and tempo gave your performance real energy."
🎻 "Excellent focus and poise."
🎻 "Good positioning, stylistic playing, and rhythm throughout."
🎻 "Very nice musical phrasing."
🎻 "Keep up the nice work!"
These remarks speak to the standard of excellence every student may aspire to—whether preparing for exams, recitals, or personal musical milestones. My studio provides the structure, encouragement, and expertise students need to develop into capable, confident violinists who love what they do.
Join Frederick Talent Education and experience a program that supports your child’s growth—musically, mentally, and emotionally.
