Fiddleheads' Mission Statements
My Violin Shop Mission Statement
I don't just sell violins. I take the time and care to educate my new friends in music in making the best decisions for their music and family.
In Operating the Violin Shop I Strive...
-
To assist my fellow string players in making informed and appropriate decisions in their music purchases so they may buy with trust and confidence
-
To provide quality instruments and materials for beginners to professional players; instruments which best suit their budgets and needs
-
To offer the best possible service and support to all my customers by means of sharing information freely, being flexible and understanding to customers' needs and continually educating myself in violin and the industry
-
To operate this business with honesty, environmental sustainability and personal integrity

My Violin School Mission Statement
Fiddleheads inspires players to understand and express the richness and beauty of music.
Lessons focus on stimulating intrinsic abilities and encouraging individual growth within a trusting and nurturing environment.
My Goals as Your Violin Teacher
-
To support you in actualizing your goals in music with confidence.
-
To hone your technique, working with and respecting the ergonomics of your natural physiology.
-
To share insights and sincere appreciation for the music, theory, performance and the violin itself through open communication and positive interaction.
-
To offer challenging, enjoyable and enriching experiences you will cherish for years to come.
*Note: I retired from teaching in late 2019 in order to focus on my busy shop duties while honouring health limitations. I provide a list of my symphony and orchestra colleagues who teach violin and viola lessons as a courtesy to my customers seeking teachers. You may also find my methods and self-teaching books super helpful for teaching yourself as I originally did as a teen.
