Testimonial

“Lea's enthusiasm for teaching and for her students is awesome, inspiring and infectious. It’s so obvious to me that she loves to teach and connect with her students.
Whether in a group or private, fiddle sessions with Lea are a perfect blend of technical teaching and pure fun that always leads to a joyous chorus of laughter and smiles from her students.
I love her focus on rhythms, the “groove”, bowing and harmonies. We’ve learned some wonderful tunes this past year and her interpretation of them is beautiful, sometimes unpredictable, and often funky and cool.
Most importantly, through Lea I have met other fiddlers, who I now consider to be my friends! ”
