Pearl has been great with my 7 year old son. She has incredible patience and knowledge. In just a couple months, my 1st grader is showing confidence and genuine interest in piano and reading music!

About Academy of Strings and More
I teach violin and viola from beginning up to an advanced level and cello and piano to an intermediate level. I love helping music students of all ages improve their skills and techniques, with patience and flexibility, so that they can produce beautiful music and feel proud and confident. I have a Music Education degree from West Chester University in Pennsylvania, and I have Teacher Certification in PA and NJ. I have also had teacher training in the Suzuki method at Ithaca College and incorporate a lot of ideas from that training and use the Suzuki repertoire when it seems appropriate for the student's age, experience, and interest. I have decades of experience, so I know how to help students avoid or correct some of the bad habits that hinder good sound quality. I also encourage (but don't require) a parent or caregiver to observe the student's lesson, particularly when the student is younger than 10 years old. I teach at home in Washington Township (Gloucester County) about a mile from the intersection of Route 42 and Sicklerville Road (Exit 7). I teach generally on weekday afternoons and evenings. Weekend days may be occasionally used for a makeup lesson. I enjoy sharing my knowledge of music and seeing and hearing the improvement in the student's playing skills as they progress, especially when the student shows enthusiasm for what they are learning.
Reviews
Definitely has been a great experience
Pearl is an excellent teacher she is patient, polite, and she works with the student to accommodate the student's musical level. I am so glad that I have found a professional that affords me the opportunity to learn the violin and enjoy my instructors teaching.
