Testimonials
I have been receiving lessons from Dot for about 15 months in order to make my own ukulele arrangements of favorite songs. I feel lucky to get private instruction from them! I especially like their willingness to follow my interests in a very individualized way, the emphasis on making music joyful, and their deep knowledge of music theory and technique. I also find their teaching style super helpful in conveying difficult concepts. Definitely five stars!

Dot is a wonderful teacher! I have been studying guitar with them once a week for the last six months. I am a professional musician, so I am picky about my teachers. Dot's teaching is tailored to my specific goals and strengths. I have learned quite a bit from Dot about reducing tension, and this helps me in my singing and violin playing as well as with guitar. And we have a ton of fun! We recently started doing lessons on Zoom, and the quality of the lessons has not been reduced.

Dot is a fantastic teacher. Dot took my ill-formed New Years resolution to learn to play the Ukulele and helped me chart a path -- assisting me in buying an instrument, working through basic mechanics, coaching me on how to practice, offering tons of encouragement, and sprinkling music theory along the way. Dot's enthusiasm is infectious. Couldn't be happier.
— John C. Philadelphia, PA
Amazing!! Very helpful and patient, always giving great tips.
— Ronnie B. Philadelphia, PA
Dot is the consummate holistic teacher. In all aspects of their approach their skill, thoughtfulness, and intentionality shine through clearly. Zoom based lessons have not impeded this communication in any meaningful way.
As a relative beginner, I have appreciated their warmth and encouragement as well as their rigor in helping me learn good habits and fundamental techniques. When I was experiencing pain in my playing, for instance, they went above and beyond in helping me think about and address the problem and its root causes.
Dot knows their stuff, not just musically, but also pedagogically, and favors a student driven approach to learning - I've found that not only am I getting better at playing, I'm having more fun more consistently as well.
They are also just a blast to spend time with - Highly recommended!
