"Samarah came as a recommendation to us from Dr. Philip Baldwin, Conductor of the Spokane Youth Symphony and Violin Professor and conductor of the Whitworth University Symphony Orchestra. My two children (ages 12 and 14) look forward to their lessons every week and gush about what they learned and how fun it was. They have grown immensely under her instruction. She inspires them, encourages them, and motivates them to choose their own adventure in the world of violin. She also shows up "off the clock" to their school performances whenever possible. Her passion for music is so apparent, as well as her own skill with the instrument too! We are so thankful to have her in our life and hope to keep her as long as possible!"

"I cannot speak highly enough of Samarah as a violin instructor. From the very first lesson, it was clear that she possesses not only an exceptional command of the instrument but also a rare gift for teaching. She balances technical precision with deep musical expression, helping students grow not just as violinists but as complete musicians."

"I would absolutely recommend anyone who wants to foster a love of music to begin lessons right away; she is very professional, communicates incredibly well, and is an absolute joy to be around (even if you're not the one taking lessons). Any teacher of anything could absolutely take notes from Samarah's gentle and supportive guidance."
