Welcome from Susie
If you're a parent of a young beginner, you want someone to engage your child, foster a love of music, and kindle any natural talent, someone careful and precise to instill good habits, all while making it fun. You'll want to see your child's continued interest and progress from week to week.
Ms. Peek is a very good violin teacher. She inspires and motivates me to be a better violinist and I have learned so much in the past two years.

If you're a high-school student looking toward a career in music, you want someone who knows the business and the standards necessary for success, someone with insight and technique and the ability to pass them on. Someone who knows about auditions.
I have been playing with Susie for 4 and 1/2 years and I'm playing music I wouldn't have guessed I would be able to play after this amount of time. Susie is extremely picky, but she never gives up on a student. I love it!

If you're an adult in a community orchestra and need help negotiating the repertoire, you want someone who's familiar with orchestra playing, who's encountered and solved the problems you're facing, and who can make difficult music easier.
As an adult student after many years of not playing, I have found Susie to be a patient, understanding teacher. I've learned techniques and theory which have improved my playing. She's also introduced me to more challenging music.
