Cambridge Center for Adult Education Student Testimonials ABCs of Violin for the Absolute Beginner Course taught by Janice Tucker Rhoda

"I was glad to find the ABCs of Violin for the Absolute Beginner class - it was a perfect class for someone like me, who wanted to try playing the violin but didn't know where to start; to casually join and to see if I really liked it. Janice's teaching method was wonderful. The order of the songs and techniques in her ABCs of Violin books was extremely well thought out and I was able to gradually brush up on my fundamental violin skills. I joined the ABCs of Violin Duets class right after and I enjoyed it very much as well. Now, I still play the violin and I think I will do so for a long time." ~ Emi Y. "The violin class was really instructive and fun! I can't believe I am actually playing violin after only a few weeks." ~ Mary K.   "I enjoyed the course very much; playing the violin is actually a dream come true for me!" ~ Fanny C. "The class was a wonderful introduction to violin that both engaged and challenged me to want to continue on in my practice." ~ Samara H.W. "I was almost too afraid to take up the violin as an adult, but I'm SO glad that I did because Janice's approach to teaching was so non-threatening, methodical, and fun. Three years later I'm still playing every day and loving it!" ~ Monique D.   "I really appreciate Janice Tucker Rhoda's patience in explaining new techniques, careful layout of teaching pieces in her books, and attitude insisting violin students should have fun. Making progress and seeing her in class is something I always look forward to."   ~ Kenneth C. "This class was a great way for me, who played some as a child, to get back into the violin. I'm enjoying the class enormously. Janice is a very nurturing, supportive teacher." ~ Anne C.   More Testimonials
