What clients say about Stacy Jarvis

Jade M.

Parent from Vancouver

Stacy is my daughter's violin teacher. She is very patient and encouraging. My daughter has done so well with Stacy's help. Her passion of music and professional knowledge inspired her so much. I would highly recommend her for anyone who would like to learn violin.

Connor K.

Parent from Chester

Ms Jarvis is a really fantastic violin teacher. My children enjoy lessons every week. I found the emphasis she places on the theory part of the lesson is also very important. In addition to playing the violin itself. Less than a year ago my children started to have lessons with Ms Jarvis. I am impressed with both the music knowledge they have acquired and the violin skills they have learnt in a short period of time.

Guy J.

Student from Stockport

I have only just started learning the violin with Stacy, but I feel confident to recommend her to anyone wanting to learn how to play the violin. Her lessons are well structured, starting with music theory, then using the violin to play the notes that have just been learnt. I'm an adult learner with no music education, but within 2 lessons I can read basic music notation,& create the notes on my violin. I think I can say that Stacy is patient & understanding that absolute beginners to the violin are going to feel very clumsy as they begin their musical journey.

Emma A.

Client from Liverpool

Stacy came to our rescue literally the day before our event and it could not have gone better. Her communication was brilliant and in a matter of minutes we had everything sorted including songs and timings and all the other requirements. She has an absolutely enormous repertoire of music and songs and plays them so well. She even sent us a practice recording of our main song so we knew how it would sound and it was perfect. She played absolutely beautifully and it made such a dramatic impact on our ceremony. A truly talented violinist. I could not reccomend her enough.

Lauren B.

Client from Stockport

We had Stacy perform at our church ceremony and it was one of the best decisions we made!
Stacy was a reliable, helpful and went above my expectations. Her music was just beautiful, she did everything we asked and more. Also she still performed whilst within strict Covid restrictions (we had 30guest) yet still went ahead with are day and was able to move dates around to make our day happen!
