- I always have to ask a few questions to each new student such as 'Have you played an instrument before?'/ 'Do you get music lessons at school?' / 'Can you already read notes?'
- Providing the student with an instrument is the first, and most important step. I can assist you in choosing the right size, or advice you on where to find instruments.
- During the first lesson we usually cover the basics of holding the bow, and how to hold the violin / viola.
- I find the Suzuki approach very useful for beginning students, but like to add other genres as well.

Perfect! It's been about five weeks of lessons now, and Jacob has been very observant and insightful. Even using video calls, Jacob has been able to point out very helpful improvements to my hand and body posture. He has also been paying attention to the pace of my learning, and successfully balances fundamental training and engaging practice material. Great teacher.
Perfect! My daughter, Rebecca has the viola lessons with Mr. Hermsen. He is a very professional, talented musician teacher. My daughter really likes to study with Mr. Hermsen. He has been such a patient and kind of teacher with kids. His works make my daughter more and more love to play the music. Thank you, Mr.Hermsen! Being my daughter's teacher!
