VIOLIN/VIOLA/CELLO/BASS TEACHERS – FALL 2015 Below is a list of private string teachers in the Frederick County area. The range of fees is broad, from very reasonable to expensive. Some are only comfortable with beginners, and others work better with more advanced students. Some teachers may already have a full schedule. If you have any trouble finding available teachers please contact me and I’ll see if I can give you any other names. Also, we may be able to find high school or college students who are willing to teach younger students for more reasonable fees. Mr. Mitchell

REMEMBER: PRIVATE LESSONS HELP YOU IMPROVE MORE THAN ANY OTHER MUSIC ACTIVITY.
