Parent Review

"Meg is encouraging and uplifting. My child leaves lessons full of confidence, intrinsically motivated and determined to improve her cello skills. Additionally, Meg's creative instructional style and innovative Suzuki program implementation considers my child's developmental age and makes classical music training an utter joy. Meg's wealth of theory knowledge is enthusiastically; yet subtly shared with my child and parents to the extent that parental involvement is empowering. As a long time Hyde Park Suzuki family member, Meg is precious gem and her high level of expectations are contagious. My child is determined to do well and loves playing the cello.  - A. Greer.
