“My daughter has been learning violin with Sam for the past six years. She connected with him quickly, and she looks forward to learning from him every week. He is kind and gentle, and his love of music shines through. I appreciate his efforts to keep her engaged in the learning process, which can be more challenging in the teenage years. He seems to know how much to push her and when to step back. We greatly enjoy Sam, and we appreciate his friendship and guidance. ”
