"Karen is an amazing teacher! She is patient and so encouraging! I have not played violin for many years and I feel so blessed to have her to help me in my journey back to my love of violin! The Christmas show was great!!!!"

"Karen stands out as an exceptional music teacher with a vast knowledge and a heartwarming approach to teaching. During the four years I studied violin under her guidance, my skills and understanding of the instrument surpassed the cumulative progress of a decade. More than technique, Karen imparted a deep understanding of music's essence and its emotive power – a rare and precious gift that goes beyond conventional teaching. Her dedication to the art is unparalleled; she truly cares about nurturing one's musicality. Recognizing the distinctiveness of each student, Karen tailors her instruction, steering clear of a one-size-fits-all methodology. For anyone aspiring to learn the violin or explore other musical paths, I wholeheartedly endorse Karen's expertise."

"Karen Egger is without a doubt, one of the best violin teachers. My 10-year-old daughter has been taking private lessons with Karen since she was 3 years old. She looks forward to her lessons, wants to practice daily, and always leaves her lessons excited. Karen is compassionate, patient, challenges her students, offers constructive criticism, identifies areas of improvement, and has extraordinary violin teaching expertise. My daughter plays violin for her local city orchestra and Karen’s teaching has made this possible. My family is very blessed that our daughter is receiving her music education from Karen."

"Karen is a wonderful teacher. I started violin as an adult, and she provided clear instruction and many strategies for improving my bowing, intonation, and dynamics. She assigned practice pieces that matched my interests and were just at the right level of difficulty. Karen is an expert in both classical violin and fiddle styles, and works effectively with kids and adults. She's great!"

"Karen is the first and best violin teacher for my son. She is very dedicated to teaching student and encourages students to practice everyday. At each lesson, I was very happy with the way she taught her students. My son misses her very much and wishes she could be his teacher again."
