"Mark has been my son's private music teacher and has done a superb job. He is personable and professional with an excellent ability to be firm yet flexible. My son's description of Mark is: "awesome." He has worked with my son on everything from classical violin to bluegrass fiddle music (with some mandolin mixed in as well). Mark has been willing to work with my son as he transitioned from violin to the cello the school orchestra. Overall he is an excellent teacher-- supportive and friendly, with good personal boundaries and a desire to balance a good learning environment while at the same time having fun learning music."

"Each of my five children has enjoyed working with Louanne. She has a particular gift for looking closely and getting to know each child, what motivates and what inspires them. Both their minds and their hearts are in good hands with her solid teaching of technique and delivery that's gentle. She has made the pursuit of music a joyful experience for my whole family."
-Shannon Laird, current parent

"Louanne Lotz is a wonderful musician and music teacher. She has taught both my daughters and instilled in them a desire for excellence as well as a love for music. They both have since majored in music and continue to play the violin."
-Julie VandenBos, former parent

"Louanne had a tremendous influence not only on my playing skill and technique, but also  my confidence. Within my first few months of studying with her, I went from a timid and quiet player to a loud and confident one. She also guided me through all of my college auditions, and with her support I was accepted into various music education programs in which to further advance my studies. "
-Anya, former student, freshman at OSU music department

" The recitals are delightful, the family’s joy for music palpable, and their business practices meticulous. This means they can serve more students, more effectively... forever! Everyone wins!”
-Natasha, former parent
