Leota Sigrid Boesen Violin & Viola

"It has been an honor to be a student of Leota Sigrid Boesen for many years. I began violin lessons with her in 5th grade and today, many years later, I have graduated medical school. During this time, Ms. Boesen has been a wonderful instructor and mentor in my life. First and foremost, she is an talented musician with many years of experience in instructing students of all ages and abilities in learning the art of music. With her help, throughout intermediate school, junior high and high school, I achieved high honors in UIL violin solo and group competitions and region orchestras. During undergraduate, although I was pre-med biochemistry major, she was instrumental in helping me audition for and be accepted to the Moore School of Music Symphony Orchestra at the University of Houston during my freshman year. Later, when I joined the non-music major orchestra at my university, I was able to serve as second chair of the orchestra. I will always be thankful for the lifelong gift of music she has given me. I will also always be thankful for her great kind spirit and encouragement she has given me throughout my life. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking an experienced instructor and mentor in violin or viola."

"Ms. Boesen is an amazing viola teacher. Our son started lessons with her in 6th grade because he was a year behind his peers having started at a new school. Within a few months she was able to get him caught up to his classmates and at the top of his class. Ms. Boesen has the talent and skill to be able to support students on their musical journey as far as they want to go while still being approachable and understanding. She was able to really encourage our son to push himself without stressing him out. Not only is Ms. Boesen a great teacher but she is also very professional and easy to work with. As a busy parent I really appreciated her willingness to reschedule lessons when needed. I highly recommend Leota Boesen!"

"Leota is the best private violin teacher in Texas and in The Woodlands. She taught all three of my daughters starting in middle school. All three were in the best orchestra in The Woodlands high school thanks to her teaching. They all scored the highest on the competitions. One of them was first chair. They were very proud of their accomplishments and that meant a lot to me. Leota was very invested in helping Them achieve their goals. My children loved her so much that she played the violin at my eldest daughter’s wedding as she was walking down the aisle. She is a blessing to all she encounters. There is no better teacher."

"I have know and worked with Leota, as a client of my recording studio for many years. I have seen firsthand, her amazing skills as a teacher and musician. She truly cares, not only about her student’s musical growth and giving them the best instruction, but also about their own personal well being and growth in life. As a teacher myself, these are valuable attributes to offer a student pursuing instruction in any type of skill. If you are looking for an instructor in violin or viola, I highly recommend you contact Leota. You will not be disappointed. ."

"Leota taught my 3 girls viola from fifth grade until graduation. She is a phenomenal teacher who knows what she is doing. Always kind, understanding and patient with her students. She has become a good friend even though my girls don’t take lessons anymore. My youngest is off to Austria in July for a workshop and is one of only four violists chosen; and it all started with Leota!! I highly recommend her. She is a very talented musician and special person."
