My daughter has been taking violin lessons with Miss Mary since she was almost four years old. We moved out of cherry hill area when she was six. However my daughter insisted to continue violin lessons with Miss Mary, so we have been traveling an hour one way every week for her lesson (but well worth of the time!). We were very impressed by the approach that Miss Mary has been taken to teach young students.
She is able to keep young students to stay engaged and have fun while learning. Miss Mary is also very good at teaching students at all grades with different levels of competency. My daughter is 12 now and very proud of herself playing at her middle school's orchestra and chamber (first violin at 6th grade's concert)! Highly recommend Lucchi violin studio!
