Wes Dyring draws on five decades years of successful teaching experience to offer individualized private violin and viola instruction to students of all ages, from beginning through advanced levels.
He particularly loves teaching violin to young children and has a gift for communicating with them and sparking their love for music.
A beginner who learns from the start from a knowlegeable and inspiring teacher who will guide them to establish correct technique and good music reading skills will be better motivated to improve their playing, unhampered from bad habits they will need to overcome.
Lessons are 30, 45 or 60 minutes, depending on the age and level of the student, at Dyring Music Studio in Lynnwood, WA.
