“I’ve been taking violin lessons from Clete for 1 ½ years as one of his adult student. His teaching style has worked very well for me in that his critiques are concise and to the point, and he demonstrates how to make beautiful sounds with it. For each week’s assignment the amount is just right, with one or two particular areas to make improvement. Violin is not an easy instrument, and yet Clete doesn’t make me feel discouraged during the learning process.”

“Every exercise and concerto has a specific lesson it is teaching you, you never waste your time. This is the difference between having just any run of the mill violin teacher, and an actual professional teaching you. You will actually learn technique for violin playing, and end up learning music theory while you're at it. You will need discipline and a willingness to learn, and you will get better and learn a ton.”
