I love teaching people how to play music. It is very rewarding to see excited they are when they learn a new piece. Music has been a great joy in my own life. I started when I was very young, and have been grateful that I had amazing teachers. I really enjoy sharing the techniques and tips that I learned with my own students. In a way, it is like passing the torch on to the next generation. I also enjoy helping adults to learn music or get back to playing their instrument. It is a joy to help people to achieve their goals and realize their dreams to play music.
I started teaching private viola lessons when I was in high school. After I finished my Bachelor's degree, I taught piano lessons at a private school for six years. After I finished my Masters degree I began teaching at the Maricopa Community Colleges as the violin, viola and orchestra conductor at GCC, PVCC and MCC. After finishing my Doctorate in Music, I started teaching both elementary and high school string classes in the Scottsdale School District. I continued teaching at my home school as well.
I have a Doctorate in Music in Performance from Arizona State University. I also have a Masters Degree in Music History, and a Bachelor's of Music in performance. I have been very fortunate to have studied with some of the finest music teachers. I have taught violin, viola, and piano for over twenty five years. I have taught beginning cello for nineteen years. I used to teach in the public schools in Scottsdale. I have also had Suzuki training. I have taken classes in the Galamian methods, Dounis methods, and Rolland methods of teaching strings.

I like to listen to each new student performing a piece that they know, so that I can get an idea of what level they are performing at. Then I recommend some solo or method books that they might enjoy working on. I like to balance each lesson with a variety of techniques and solo pieces. I have some wonderful tips for how to make progress on music lessons. Each student is unique, so I like to find the music that will inspire them to achieve their dreams and goals.
I teach beginning, intermediate, and advanced violin and viola. I also teach beginning cello and piano. I have been very fortunate to have worked with some very talented students over the years. Several of my former students became the Principal Violists of the Phoenix Youth Symphony. I have also had students that made it into the Regional and All State Orchestras. I have also had students who performed with the North Valley Youth Symphony or the Scottsdale Philharmonic Youth Orchestra. Two of my students went on to get their Masters Degrees in Viola, and one student got his Doctorate in Music Education. One of my students is a strings teacher in the Paradise Valley School District.
I teach students of all ages and abilities. I have taught gifted students and students with disabilities. I have taught partially sighted students. I have taught many beginners. I have taught both adult beginners, and adult re-entry students, who want to get back into playing their instrument. I enjoy teaching people who love music, and helping them to achieve their dreams.
When you are looking for a good music teacher, find out how many years of teaching experience they have. Do they have a degree in music, or just teach on the side for fun? Ask if they teach the style of music you would like to learn. Find out if they only teach one method, or several methods. Does the teacher teach your age and ability levels? Does the teacher teach the basics step by step, or just drill the student on one piece for a year in order for them to play it at a recital? Probably the best advice is to get a teacher who loves teaching, and has a lot of experience teaching music.
I conducted the Four Seasons Orchestra in a concert of Vivaldi's Four Seasons Concertos for the Violin. We featured five award winning solo artists, who were between the ages of 13 and 24. They did a fantastic job of performing the Four Seasons Concertos. You can hear some of my past concerts as a soloist and condutor at (concealed information)
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Think about your goals in music starting out. Be realistic about the time needed to achieve those goals. Be willing to set aside time each day to practice the lesson for that week. It is so important to reinforce what you have learned. Think about what styles of music you want to learn, such as Classical, popular, orchestra music, Broadway, movie music, and other genres. There is a whole world of amazing music to discover. You just need to take the first step, and reach out to a music teacher.

I have taken violin lessons with Dr. Broe for almost seven years, and I can tell that she is a very knowledgeable and experienced teacher. She has studied with many world-class musicians, and throughout the lessons, she has given me plenty of helpful pieces of advice that she learned from them. Because of her excellent teaching, I was able to compete and win first place in a statewide strings competition. Dr. Broe is also a really friendly person in general, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to work with her.
Carolyn was my daughter’s viola tutor throughout high school, and we are so grateful for the role she played in her musical journey. From the very beginning, Carolyn created a supportive and encouraging environment that helped my daughter grow both as a musician and as a confident young person.
Her talent, knowledge, patience, and genuine care for her students are evident in every lesson. Carolyn has a special ability to connect with her students, inspire them to do their best, and make learning both rewarding and enjoyable.
Thanks to Carolyn’s guidance, my daughter developed strong skills, greater confidence, and a deeper love for music. I wholeheartedly recommend Carolyn to any student or family looking for an exceptional viola teacher.View more recommendations

I teach out of my home studio in Scottsdale, Arizona and I now teach online lessons through Zoom. I charge 25 dollars for a half hour lesson once a week, and 50 dollars for a full hour lesson. Most students like to pay for a full month of lessons at the beginning of the month. I do not give lessons every other week. I feel that most students make better progress if they have a lesson every week.
