Roanoke Fiddle Lessons
Focused on your success
My first priority with any student is to find out what they want to accomplish, and help them get there. I use a personalized approach--every student learns differently, and at different speeds.
I offer recitals and workshops for students to show what they've learned, and to learn from each other.

"Very professional and comfortable. Geoff will do everything in his power to understand your learning style and make accommodations. He understands the process of learning and is very encouraging. He also believes that you’re never too old to learn new things so there’s no need to be embarrassed if you’re not a prodigy. 10/10"

I always had an interest in being able to play folk music and I have had several years of formal instrument classes in school and at instrument stores. However, with instructor Geoff I feel like I am finally moving beyond just how to successfully make notes come from my instrument towards how to play *music*, learning the why behind the whats.

Taking lessons from Geoff has been a wonderful experience. He accommodated my needs for a location for lessons and expanded my knowledge of music and comfortability playing a new instrument while pushing me to meet my goals. There is never a bad lesson and he focuses on what your goals are and meets you there.
