“I studied with Mrs. McKenna during my high school years as she helped me prepare for college auditions, ultimately winning a scholarship to the Lamont School of Music, where I pursued my studies. In addition to being a superb violinist herself, Mrs. McKenna teaching lineage traces back to the likes of Galamian and DeLay. I credit her teaching skills for sharpening my technical chops, for nurturing my artistry and for deepening my love for music.” -Matt R.
“I was a student with Ms. Beth McKenna from 2020-2023. I picked up the violin in 2020, when I was in 9th grade, and through her teaching, I was able to advance through my Suzuki studies and beginner materials within a year. Ms. McKenna is an incredibly supportive and dedicated violin teacher who tailors her instruction to each student’s unique strengths and needs. Her individualized approach allowed me to advance quickly through my studies, and her mentorship extended beyond music, encouraging both personal and musical growth. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a teacher who is passionate about what they do, and has the experience to guide you through your musical journey.” -Sarvesh K.
