Rhonda, is a wonderful teacher. I have taken lessons with Rhonda for a year or so now, and I couldn’t ask for a better teacher. She’s patient, kind, and understanding. Thank you, Rhonda for sharing your gift!

I have been taking lessons for several months now and am really enjoying working with Rhonda. She makes the lessons enjoyable and doesn't make me feel bad when I make mistakes. I would highly recommend talking lessons from her she has a wide range of instruments that she teaches. She explains things very well and has lots of experience.

Rhonda is a wonderful & experienced teacher. As an adult with limited music experience, I felt a bit intimidated to begin lessons. Rhonda helped alleviate that feeling very quickly, making lessons and homework quite fun & helpful. I'm very glad I chose her to help me on this journey of learning to play ukulele & look forward to continuing my work with her.

This is my first musical instrument lesson ever and Rhonda made it very comfortable and introduced a lot of new things that I thought would be overwhelming for a total beginner like me. She is an excellent teacher and I would recommend her to my friends, family members and even to my grandson who is only 15 months old when he is ready to do online music lessons.

I’ve been taking lessons from Rhonda for 9 months and I love it! I look forward to it every week. Never before played a stringed instrument so this is all new to me. Rhonda has been very patient, and really explains things very well until I understand. She’s very professional, and very supportive of my musical desires and goals for playing the banjo. She has been a joy to work with!! It is very rewarding to see and hear the improvements in playing. Love her! 🪕✌️

I just finished my 14th lesson with Rhonda as an adult beginner violin student. She is the absolute best. She is patient and fun. I cannot believe that I am learning notes and learning to play simple violin songs. I just ordered my next 15 lessons!

My first class with her and I know she’s the teacher I need. She’s wonderful. I was a little skeptical about online lessons but I think with a teacher like her, I’ll be learning even more than In person lessons. God sent her on my way!

More than 10 years ago, I told a good friend that learning to play the dulcimer was on my bucket list. He made my beautiful instrument and said " now you need to learn to play". 2021 is my year! Fortunately, Rhonda has become my instructor and I look forward to the weekly lessons. Her enthusiasm for teaching, her extensive knowledge, and many years of experience have given me the confidence that I can learn .

A beautiful dulcimer was made for me by a special friend more than 10 years ago. He told me I needed to learn to play. I finally decided to look for an instructor online. I found just the right person! Rhonda plays many instruments, has a near perfect pitch, and is welcoming and reassuring to those who are in musical "kindergarten". Her ability to teach across the miles is amazing and the lessons are fun! I look forward to the time we spend together online.

My ten year old granddaughter has zip experience with any musical instrument, but she elected to try the saxophone. Rhonda is an excellent instructor. Her praise is genuine and her corrections are gentle. My granddaughter’s comment after her first thirty minute lesson was, “ That was a short lesson..only about five minutes!” That says it all! Highly recommend Rhonda!

Rhonda probably the best teacher I have ever had! for the many years that she taught me the violin, guitar, and trombone. she was always patient especially from the time I was young all the way till I was an “adult” preparing me for concerts and solo acts. Rhonda is a master of all and if you told her that you wanted to be the best triangle player or the best trumpet player she would make it happen. If there was an instrument that she has never used that you wanted to learn she would indefinitely buy it, become a master within the week and begin to teach you. She truly is the most genuine and talented person I have ever had the pleasure to work with!

I began taking violin lessons from Rhonda at age 5 and eventually added guitar, mandolin, and an occasional vocal opportunity:) I learned so much from her over the years (approx 4) including proper technique, patience, & self discipline. I continue to be active in music & vocal performance in the community at age 18. Rhonda is a great teacher and person!

I took guitar & banjo lessons from Rhonda starting at age 7 for approx 4 years. She was a great teacher by letting me pick out music I enjoyed and playing songs along with me. I am now 19 years old, continue to enjoy music and play in 2 bands. I would highly recommend Rhonda as an instructor.

Rhonda is amazing! I took lessons with her for about 15 years. I started with her in kindergarten and I continued until my sophomore year of college. She is very kind and patient and all around an awesome person! She was the one who helped me fall in love with music and I an forever grateful!

Teaching Style

The instruments I offer to teach are Piano, Guitar, Banjo, Dulcimer, Violin, Mandolin, Ukulele (soprano, concert, tenor and baritone), Flute, Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Trumpet & Harmonica. The genres of music I enjoy teaching are gospel and bluegrass, but I also enjoy teaching classical, western, traditional oldies, movie themes, blues, old rock n roll. We can talk about the kind of music you would like to learn and I will do my best to help you learn some of your favorites!

Curriculum

For piano I use Faber and Faber. For dulcimer, guitar, banjo and ukulele, I use the Tablature method. Flute, trumpet, clarinet and harmonica are taught using Hal Leonard method. Aside from the basic lesson books for all instruments, I incorporate many other books that cover a wide range of styles/genres of music. Books and individual songs of your choice will also be incorporated into the lessons to make learning even more enjoyable. After all, this is why you want to learn so you can play the songs you like!
