About the studio

Lessons with Sara are fun, engaging, and tailored to your needs as a student. With 10+ years of teaching experience, Ms. Neilson will make sure you are playing without pain, and learning the skills it takes to accomplish your musical goals.

To begin lessons, you can find me via my contact page. I also run a private studio out of my home or online lessons via Zoom - which in many cases are just as effective as in-person teaching. For any questions, continue to the contact page, or email me at s.e.neilson@gmail.com.

Please do not let cost concerns prevent you from getting in touch - my philosophy is that every child deserves to have music in their lives and it is a part of my mission to help make that happen however I can.

Testimonials

"Sara is patient, professional, thorough and encouraging. She is really helping me along with my bowing technique. Highly recommended" - Elizabeth S.

"Our high school son bounced around from teacher to teacher till he met Sara. She is an excellent straight forward teacher. Who just brings the best out in his playing. She is detailed and focused. Highly recommended." - Sini H.

"As an adult beginner with no previous experience on double bass but with formal experience on other instruments, Sara has done a fantastic job of tailoring her teaching for my individual needs as a student. Her approach is encouraging and supportive, always driving towards the next level in playing but in a casual enough way to keep it interesting. You should probably call Sara for some lessons, just saying." -Josh Y.
