About

About	Hello, my name is Ruth Brons and I want to welcome you to my studio, where wonderful things happen each week! We juggle hard work, good music, technique and FUN. All students have a daily practice plan and receive regular weekly private violin lessons during the school year, or lessons by appointment in the summer. We also offer Saturday morning Group Classes to support the work we do in private lessons and to prepare for Solo and Group performance. Students are motivated to progress by preparing for Solo Recitals, and preparation for the annual American String Teacher’s Association Certificate Advancement Program Exam.
