  Lucia is a wonderful teacher who is willing to work with you no matter your skill level. She has the ability to break down techniques to their simpliest form and then build it up to allow you to incorporate it into your daily playing. Her own technical skills are so precise, it allows you to see directly how to perform the skill you are trying to master.
  She is also a lot of fun, and playing should be fun and something you enjoy.
  I grew a lot while taking lessons from Lucia and hope to take lessons again from her in the future.

  Review of Violin instruction - individual lessons, November 30, 2008

  I am an adult student, having not played my violin for nearly 50 years, and I consider myself very lucky that Lucia has agreed to be my teacher. Lucia is a gifted teacher, quickly identifying my “bad habits” and giving me exactly what I need to do to correct them. She is a virtuoso violinist, but rather than playing in unison with me, she observes my performance so as to give precise instructions at the exact moment when they do the most good. Her artistry shows in her teaching. When she plays a phrase, as an example, I am inspired to play better and practice more. Her warm, encouraging personality takes the stress out of learning. I leave every lesson feeling as if she has given me exactly what I need, and I have grown because of it. I can’t say enough good things about Lucia, but one of her early comments struck me, became part of me, and has changed the way I look at practice, and playing the violin. I paraphrase with: “Our goal is more than to play the violin, it is to make music.” Lucia helps turns a bunch of notes into beautiful music – even the exercises.

  If she had been my teacher 50 years ago, I probably would not be starting all over again now -- but 50 years ago she wasn't even born. If you are reading this because you are looking for a truely great violin teacher, your search is over. I'm serious. Stop looking and hope Lucia has room for you or your child.

  Review of Violin instruction - individual lessons, November 29, 2008

  My daughter has been very gifted with music since she was a toddler. Now a teenager, she needed someone to give her challenges that keep playing and practicing interesting, fun and not boring. Lucia is the perfect match. She is extremely talented, professional, full of enthusiasm, just the right amount, While pointing out the things that are done incorrectly, she always praises the things that are done right. She expects a lot, and gives a lot. When we leave each lesson, my daughter says, "That was fun!" Lucia is a true gem and I highly recommend her to any age student. Her enthusiasm is contagious!

  Review of Violin instruction - individual lessons, November 24, 2008

  Lucia Conrad is a wonderful violin teacher! A little over a year ago my daughter was struggling with reading music, so I decided to get her into private lessons. I am very happy that we chose Lucia to be her teacher! She is patient, understanding, and very knowledgeable about the violin. Lucia's proffesionalism and natural gift of teaching made a huge difference in my daughter's confidence, and now she is eager to play and try new things. I would highly recommend Lucia Conrad!
