Dr. Jeremy Starr is a phenomenal violin teacher! I’ve been extremely happy with and grateful for the progress I’ve made while taking lessons from him this past year. He expects a lot out of you and wants you to achieve a very high standard of playing, but is perfectly balanced with lots of kindness and encouragement. He’s very professional, very personable, and is so generous in the sharing of his knowledge. I would highly recommend anyone seeking violin lessons, regardless of age or experience, to take from Dr. Starr. He’s awesome!

My studio is located at 650 Union Square in Sandy.

Dr. Starr is an excellent violin teacher who helps students understand and apply important techniques for improved proficiency. He motivates students to improve and teaches efficient and effective practice skills. I have had several violin teachers in past years, but I can see and hear improvement in my playing after just a few months of lessons with Dr. Starr.
