Please note - Liz works with beginning level violin and viola students, and up to advanced level cello students.

Liz (she/her) is a classically-trained cellist and educator specializing in orchestral strings. She holds a Bachelor of Music Education from Bowling Green State University, where she attended as the recipient of the prestigious Hansen Performance Fellowship. She started playing the cello at age 9 in northeastern Pennsylvania and quickly grew to love all things music - especially theory, composition, and pedagogy. 

With over six years of experience directing private studio lessons, K-12 public school classrooms, and accessible lessons for students with diverse learning needs, Liz brings a versatile, student-centered approach to her teaching. She believes that every musician's path is unique - and everyone can be a musician. By integrating the technical foundations of the Suzuki and Bornoff approaches, she provides students with a robust physical command of their instrument while nurturing their individual expressive voices. 

Ultimately, Liz aims to do more than teach students how to play an instrument; she strives to cultivate a sustainable, joyful relationship with music that empowers her students to succeed both on the stage and off.

He started playing the violin at age six when his mother inherited an old violin from her great uncle and wanted to keep a family tradition alive.

He spent a year studying music composition at University of Colorado, and has been active in the Seattle music scene since moving here 15 years ago. In that time he has been a DJ at Seattle’s eclectic Hollow Earth Radio, played fiddle and violin in country bands, experimental bands, indie bands, post-rock bands, and more. He currently plays with country bands Country Lips, Gus Clark and the Least of His Problems, and pop/r&b singer Sphie. Past work includes performances with the Breeders and Jamie Wyatt.

As a teacher, Jonah believes strongly in creativity and exploration in music. He teaches a broad array of genres and styles, and encourages his students to follow their own musical interests. He has worked with students to arrange and play songs like the Star Wars and Harry Potter themes, music from Minecraft, and songs by Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, ABBA, and the Beatles. Jonah is a lifelong learner of music, and is thrilled to be able to share his knowledge and enthusiasm for music. Jonah teaches violin and viola at Meter.
