Learn Suzuki Violin
Begin learning or improving your violin, viola, or piano skills with the Suzuki method. It’s wonderful because, in the mid-20th century, Dr. Shinichi Suzuki developed and refined a method for teaching ability. His work positively changed the world, and his method can do the same for your family by nurturing beautiful ability in your family’s hearts and minds.
Dr. Suzuki’s method was an early growth mindset because it uses a step-by-step, success-to-success, repetition-and-review approach that builds character early. When you take lessons, your family’s teacher carefully crafts assignments that families follow throughout the week. As a result, children learn easily and quickly how to express their inner feelings and connect with others through the language of music.
“My goal is to help every student learn to love the music, a huge reason for connecting with our music community”
Hi, I’m Amy!
Violinist, Life-Long Learner, Gardener,
Mother, Grandmother, and Violin, Viola, and Piano Teacher.
I have over 35 years of teaching experience, and because my teaching philosophy aligns with Shinichi Suzuki’s, I wholeheartedly believe that every child can learn to express the beauty within themselves and connect with others through music.
I have also learned to adapt to each student’s needs. As a result, I love drawing on family and individual strengths and find energy in connecting with people from many walks of life.
I enjoy performing with orchestras and chamber music groups and serving with the Suzuki Community and Cache Valley String Festival.
I’ve kept my childhood friends, including my husband, Todd, whom I have been married to since 1988, and I am very proud of our seven children and their families. Now we enjoy visiting with our many grandchildren, who are a joy.

Suzuki makes dreams attainable
“My son loves playing violin, and it is because of Amy! She has been so patient as he’s learned, and he’s gaining great confidence as a performer as he learns to play challenging pieces. It’s been fun for him to excel in orchestra because of his lessons with Amy. She keeps it fun and exciting, moving along at a good pace in the lessons. The recitals are low stress and enjoyable with a focus on positivity and a sense of achievement!”
—Amanda Thomson, parent
