Teachers Listed at Riedstra's Violin Shop

For your convenience, we provide this list of musical instrument teachers.

No Teacher’s Commissions

Riedstra's Violin Shop and Brass and Woodwind Sales and Repair does not pay teacher’s commissions or referral fees under any circumstances. When you buy any instrument, bow or other item from us, you should never have to ask yourself if your child’s teacher is offering you an unbiased opinion regarding your instrument purchases.

If your teacher takes time outside of your lesson to help you select an instrument, please compensate them. You can pay them at the same rate as the lesson; after all, they could be home or in their studio teaching and earning their living. The time they spend for you while they could be teaching a lesson should be covered, although the teacher will not often tell you this. Teachers are very nice people, but please don’t take advantage of them.

NOTE: If you are a teacher, and you would like to be listed here, please contact us.

Teachers are listed according to the instrument they teach.
