I highly recommend Cody as a violin/fiddle instructor. I have 2 sons who have taken lessons from her. My oldest son started lessons at the age of 5 and continues to this day at the age of 16.
Cody is very good at adapting her teaching style to the needs of the student. Whether the student learns by ear or by reading music or tab, she works with the student on their strong points and then assists them with their weak points. My son learned music best by ear, but after working with Cody has improved greatly in his music reading skills.
Cody also works with students on music they enjoy. My son originally came to learn fiddle music and has been successful. He has participated in over 20 fiddle contest all over the US. She accompanies her students when she is available and encourages them. Although my son was learning fiddle music, Cody provided a sound foundation by also working on scales, double stops, and etudes. As he has gotten older, he appreciates classical music more. The focus of lessons has adapted to his new interests.
If you are interested in learning violin or fiddle, Cody is an excellent choice as an instructor.
