Parents, Students, Colleagues and Clients Say...
(In answer to the question "what did you like about working with Jenny Visick?):

​Her skills as a Violist and her ability to transfer that knowledge to her students. Her love of the viola is evident in her teaching style and her patience. I would highly recommend her for in person or on-line Viola lessons."
- An online viola student, March 31, 2025
​"Jenny is an amazing educator: caring, thoughtful, intelligent and always seeking a better way to reach her students."

- A teaching colleague, 2019
Jenny Visick is an excellent teacher. She was fantastic with our 4-year old son, who grew by leaps and bounds during his time with Jenny. She has a nurturing, yet firm, demeanor. Our son grew very attached to her. Jenny is also a wealth of knowledge. Her rates are extremely reasonable. Many times, our lessons were extended--at no extra cost. We heard she was wonderful with children who were beginning violinists. She absolutely is. She has my highest recommendation.​

"Dear Miss Jenny,
Thank you so much for teaching the children in a kind, professional, and passionate manner. They have never sounded so good or looked so professional. I hope you will come back next year. ♥"

"...You had a way of managing ... his attempts to deflect serious engagement by silliness... and calibrating the degree of toughness to the occasion... we are (and will continue to be) very grateful for the good beginning you gave both of them.  You will always remain their first violin teacher.  Thanks again..."

​"Jenny has been an outstanding viola instructor, guiding me from the very beginning with both technical skills and music theory.

Her expertise in viola performance and course design made each course both engaging and effective. Besides, Jenny was very patient, kind and her passion for music was truly inspiring. I
greatly enjoyed studying with her!"

- A student teacher, & teaching colleague, 2017
"Hi Jenny- I wanted to let you know that we are thinking about you. [Our daughter] is taking private voice lessons through [her college] and yesterday she asked me why all private music teachers aren't as good as you. ... She is also playing violin for our church and the music director there just loves her and her abilities. The violin really adds a lot to the music."

-Mom of a former violin & viola student, 2018
"Thank you for another wonderful year of learning music. We look forward to many more years of playing... Thank you for teaching [our daughter] how to play violin and ... to love music. The violin has brought out such good qualities in her and is helping her to grow as a person."

I'll miss you!

"Ms Jenny, 
Thank you for everything you did for [my daughter]. She had a great time with you. I hope I can find another good teacher like you. Thank you!"

-A mother & daughter, just before leaving my studio to move across the country, 2013-
Taking viola lessons with Ms. Visick gave me a strong viola, violin, and music foundation I will hold for the rest of my life. She is incredibly knowledgeable of her craft and a pleasure to learn from. I am so glad my parents signed me up for lessons with her as it gave me a lifelong love for music.
