Experienced tutor in Violin in Medford, Helen offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Helen sparked a love of music in our daughter. Her teaching style is both creative and disciplined, providing inspiration and structure for a child to musically thrive. Our daughter has learned both Suzuki method and traditional fiddle songs from Helen. The Newell family is known as movers and shakers in the fiddle community of Maine. Helen is carrying that tradition forward with fresh perspective and advanced classical technique. I highly recommend Helen as a violin and fiddle teacher to students at various stages in their musical development.

Helen was very professional and affordable. She brought a great deal of enthusiasm and experience to her teaching experience. Even though she is very busy she was always flexible with her schedule. One thing that meant the most was when she would share my learning experience with both me and my parents by filming me while I played. This helped me see areas in which I needed to work and also helped my parents see what we work on in practice and also the progress I was making. I loved working with Helen and hope I get the chance to do it again if she comes back to Maine this summer.

She is patient, kind, smart and enthusiastic about teaching. Helen is passionate about each students learning at their own pace and level for technique, theory and playing tunes. I'm an adult learner though I've also seen her work with children and am really impressed by her patience and love of working the little ones, too! Anyone would be lucky to have Helen for a teacher.
