Brett and Danielle understand that music is for everyone and after working with Brett his student's passion for violin and viola provided crucial "supplemental" admission material for acceptance into top Universities in America such as Brown, Cornell and NYU where they continued their love of music as an extra curricular activity while attaining advanced degrees in the humanities and the sciences.​​​​​​​​​​Now the Deubners are accepting new students in violin and viola of any age and level into their Family Music Studio.  It is crucial to build a solid foundation and that starts with a clear understanding of correct posture, proven practice techniques and a genuine love of music that will translate into everything from enjoyable chamber music experiences with friends and especially noticeably improved overall scholastic achievement in all areas of study.

​

It takes commitment from all three of us! The parent, the teacher AND the student must be fully engaged in this process so regular consistent practice and weekly lessons can take root.
