What are students saying about Con Brio?

• “[Dr. Geertz] has been Helena's teacher since she was 6 years old and Harrison was 3 year old.  She is an amazing teacher - super knowledgeable about violin technique.  She has a lot of tricks and little exercises to boost the child's playing ability.  She is gentle with the kids and extremely patient  - especially with Harrison!!!  But she is no push over, she will call out the kids in a kind but firm manner when they are not putting in their best efforts.  I highly recommend Ms Lois.  My children LOVE her and think the world of her”!

• "I can’t speak highly enough about Dr. Geertz and her Con Brio Violin program.  As a more senior adult who had played violin for only a couple of years as a teenager, I sought someone who had experience with adult learners and was flexible and adaptable.  I found everything I was looking for and more with Dr. Geertz.  Very importantly, she is kind, caring, understanding, adaptable, flexible, passionate and devoted to making her students of all ages successful.  Not only do I recommend her as an adult teacher, I have personally seen how great she is with her young, some very young, students.  She has an extensive array of tools appropriate for all ages, levels and learning abilities.  And she has examples and stories appropriate for all ages which help with learning.  If I had children, I would send them straight to her!"
