“Miss Jenna has been teaching me for a few months now and it’s been so much fun! We get so much done in the lessons it’s crazy. I love that Miss Jenna lets me talk openly to her and she takes a little bit of time at the beginning of my lesson to catch up on how my week was. Learning viola with her is so fun and I can’t have asked for a better teacher!” — Autumn, age 12

“Jenna is a great teacher for beginner or experienced students. She is very patient, kind and can keep my child on track. She is able to adjust her teaching approach if my child struggles with a particular piece or is lacking focus. Jenna uses the Suzuki method of teaching, which keeps parents involved in lessons and gives students additional support in an encouraging learning environment.” — Courtney, parent

“I am an adult learner who has always wanted to learn to play the violin and finally decided to do it. From the beginning, Jenna has been patient, accommodating, and knowledgeable. I managed to teach myself some bad habits before I signed up for lessons and Jenna has been so patient and helpful in unraveling them. She’s always excited with me when I make progress. She’s also very accommodating of my unpredictable schedule and has let me reschedule with short notice multiple times. She’s always happy to discuss the nitty gritty details of what we’re working on and is super knowledgeable.” — Samantha, adult student

“Ever since I started learning violin with Jenna Kramer I have improved tremendously.  Just in little over a year I have been taught how to break bad habits  which has helped me improve. It takes a lot of work but the outcomes are amazing. Every week I get better with time, practice, and work. She has been the teacher that has made the most difference in helping me learn violin.” — Shayla, age 12

“WOW! Jenna Kramer has made a world of difference in the life of a young violinist. From her stance to the position of each finger, Jenna helps make sure each note is performed correctly. Her knowledge and professionalism are exceptional, but I believe it is the personal connection she makes with each student that sets her apart. We are looking forward to a long relationship as my student continues to grow with an amazing teacher.” — Amanda, parent
