Cours de méthode Suzuki et de violon traditionnel offerts à NDG, Westmount, Hampstead, Côte-St-Luc

Daphne gave my sons a wonderful introduction to Suzuki violin. She has a magical way with young children, striking a balance between playfulness and encouraging respect for the instrument and musical study. She was a great support to me, giving helpful guidance as I navigated the challenges of at home practice. Finally, she is enthusiastic about the benefits of the Suzuki method while bringing a balanced view as a traditional teacher as well. We so enjoyed studying with Daphne and we miss her!

Daphne is genuine, kind, passionate, and funny - just about everything you would want in a teacher! In a time where I found myself in a rut with the violin, Daphne's instruction helped me fall back in love with the instrument. Not only did her teaching greatly improve my style and technique, but it also introduced me to baroque, a whole new side of music, which I now love. I not only consider her a fantastic teacher but a wonderful friend.

Daphne and I studied Baroque violin in London (at the Royal Academy and Royal College of Music respectively) and later met while on faculty at the South Shore Conservatory near Boston, MA. We both taught traditional and Suzuki Method private lessons, coached masterclasses and co-led workshops at SSC, and performed together in several period ensembles.

Daphne's students are truly lucky to have her as a teacher. With a high level of experience and and insight, Daphne is invested in helping her students develop a secure technical foundation and become expressive, well-rounded musicians. Daphne is adventurous, driven and caring. And she loves cats!
