“We live in NYC and had several lessons with Mary Beth this summer while visiting family in Atlanta. My son has really enjoyed working with her. He just started Suzuki Book 8 and we got right to work. Mary Beth helped us break down the piece into different practice spots and made sure we understood what to concentrate on for each section. She also made metronome and intonation work fun! We have worked with many teachers over the years and highly recommend Mary Beth. We will be back the next time we are in town!”
