Rhiannon's Teaching

I have wondered... I dunno, it's Rosin. How much difference can there be? Probably quite a lot actually.

I've only lightly rosined my (Voxy Vogue) bow with this Kolstein Rosin and it feels good, it "grips" well.

When I say lightly, I mean that there is no extra rosin coming off the bow onto the violin, which I had a lot of before (although that can look cool, also rosin clouds on stage, very dramatic, possibly not great for the violin.)

Rhiannon's recommendation works out for me!

[PROS: Rhiannon's Teaching, Trustworthy]

[REVIEW: Facebook, 5 stars] Fiddleheads was amazing to help my daughter pick out her first violin!

She can’t wait for more lessons with you.

[REVIEW: Facebook, 5 stars] Rhiannon was my violin teacher when she was living in San Diego. She is a wonderful teacher, so talented and very patient!

She really loves to share her talent with anyone willing to learn.

When she eventually moved (to Canada for music school) I lost the best teacher I had studied with. I had a difficult time finding someone with her knowledge and natural talent for teaching.

I was thrilled for her when she started her own business and knew she would make a success of it.

Even though I’ve only made some small purchases from her, she is always friendly and genuinely cares about helping her customers no matter how big or small their needs.

[REVIEW: Facebook, 5 stars] Thank you so much for your inspiration and knowledge as you taught our daughter to play and create wonderful music.

You also enabled us to confidently buy the right quality and well priced violin.

Highly recommend.

[REVIEW: Google, 5 stars] I find Rhiannon to be trustworthy and helpful.

Whether you are taking private lessons with her or purchasing a fine instrument online, I am confident she will always deliver consistent quality and expertise.

[REVIEW: Facebook, 5 stars] Rhiannon possesses a passion and knowledge for music and violins that is unparalleled.

She is also a genuinely lovely person who is a pleasure to deal with. I recommend her above all others!

[REVIEW: Facebook, 5 stars] Awesome instruments and awesome lessons!

Rhiannon definitely makes learning the violin a fun and great time!

[REVIEW: Facebook, 5 stars] I started with Rhiannon back in salmon arm, and did about 7 years of lessons with her, and they were some of the best years of my life! She is an amazing coach and I was honoured to be one of her students.

She makes learning a fun, positive experience for every student that she teaches. My favourite part of my childhood was violin lesson day with Rhiannon.

I miss learning with you so much and our pleyel duets that we used to play together! Rhiannon also helped me restore my great grandfather's violin that was passed down to me, and used her knowledge to guide us in the right direction to getting it repaired, I still have it and it's now something we will have in our family forever.

I can't say enough good things about fiddleheads violin studio, we miss you in salmon Arm!

Fiddleheads isn’t just a business, it’s a family.

I’m so lucky to have been a part of it and to be taught and mentored by such and amazing violinist.

[REVIEW: Facebook, 5 stars] Rhiannon started me off as a young violinist at the age of seven, I am now eighteen and have played since.

She awoke the passion inside of me and I have loved the violin ever since.

She always helped me be my best self and let me explore any music I wanted and even helped me write some of my own.

I am forever grateful for her teachings and expertise that started me off on an amazing journey.

She is truly a genuine and caring person, I will never forget my days spent with her.

[REVIEW: Facebook, 5 stars] As a former student of Rhiannon's, there is no doubt concerning how passionate she is about her students, her teaching, and her products as well! My family bought all our current violins, bow, and cases/carriers through Rhiannon and we love the quality of the products!

She has amazing recommendations and always went an extra mile to ensure the satisfaction of her students and customers. Along with running a high-quality self-run company, she is also an awesome teacher.

The fiddle arrived in perfect condition. It's really beautiful, and the jujube fittings complement it perfectly (darker than they appear on your website, and very nice). And I even like the antiquing, too.

It sounds really good now, I can tell that the sound will be even better after it's been played in for a while. It will be nice to have an instrument that I don't have to worry about upgrading in the future, as I'm sure I'll never be better than what it can give me.

Anyway, the sound continues to be very nice, and I can't wait until I get out of school and can begin playing more. As you did in your testing, I particularly like the sound of the G and D strings – very dark/full sound. I'm sure that with time and regular playing, it will sound even better and I love the fact that I will most likely not have to buy another instrument, as this one will be all that I'll ever need.

Thanks again for all your help/coaching/free lesson, Rhiannon. I appreciate the fact that you've spent so much time working with me - may I also add that based on my experience/background working in the mental health field (NP focus is Psychiatric and Mental Health) and I believe you could also find a rewarding job as a therapist/counselor to add to your repertoire (insert smiley here).

I'm not sure how much you charge, but I'll have to send you a fee.

Thanks so much for all the years you have put into Krista's violin skills up to her graduation.

She always loved her lessons with you.

She got out her new violin the other day and played a few songs and it sounded so nice. Thank you for that.

After ten years of weekly fiddle lessons, David has decided to attend a few more fiddle camps each year and jam with the Old Time Fiddlers.

Thank you for the years you spent teaching him. He enjoyed the lessons and we have seen his music abilities/confidence grow with your guidance. David is dedicated to his music and wants to persue his career in sound engineering (once travelling with a band and making it big is over...ha ,ha).

Either way, music is just beginning for him and thanks for adding to his base of knowledge and sharing your love of the violin with him.

I think Dominik is very lucky to have you!

I'm sure he wouldn't click with just any teacher because of the way he is and he really lucked out with you.

I suppose you have some experience with Autism and giftedness, but you are also a very intuitive and creative person - and a fun one, too!

I feel like thanking you from the bottom of my heart every time I see you!
