Max‘s love and passion for the music and instrument flow through everything he teaches. He has developed his own unique approach to the instrument that I would say is wholistic.  He gives me beautiful visuals that help me process an idea, tune, or a concept easily.  He is the most supportive fiddle teacher I have ever had and genuinely notices the small steps of progress I make.

Max is a terrific teacher. His style is collaborative. His corrections are gentle and on point. He always addresses whatever my musical issues are when I bring them to his attention, while working in skills and techniques essential to one’s progress.

I know I’ll be a better musician by the end of the lesson.
When the lesson ends, I’m excited about the challenges.

I had the fortune of connecting with Max when I first learned how to play fiddle later in my life. He worked with me to tailor our lessons to my area of interest. I valued having an agreed upon learning objective. He is a patient, capable teacher and I continue to be grateful for the impact he had on my musical journey.
