Hello and welcome to my website!  My hope is that this website will answer any questions you may have about taking violin lessons from me.

My name is Rebecca Shaffer and I am looking forward to providing an enriching musical experience to students of all ages through the study of the violin. 

I grew up in the Antelope Valley, received my A.A. in Music from AV College, and went on to get my B.A. and teaching credential in Northridge.  For the past several years, I have lived in the LA area and worked for Los Angeles Unified School District as a traveling instrumental music teacher, teaching orchestra at five elementary schools each year, and working with an average of over 300 students a year on a weekly basis.  (Needless to say, this was a hectic pace to keep up!)  After recently becoming a mother, I have decided to stay close to home and teach my main instrument (violin) privately.

Some of my qualifications include:

• B.A. in Music Education (CSU Northridge, Magna Cum Laude)
• California Single Subject K-12 Teaching Credential in Music
• 9 years experience teaching music
• 17 years violin experience
• Experience teaching all ages (preschool through adult)
