Sara Jade, former student, current Music Education major at VCU

“I started taking violin lessons with Dr. Barrett when I was four years old. Having those lessons for so long helped me not only find what I might want to pursue in life, but also taught me just enough about music for me to easily go on to music school.

Now I’m a sophomore at VCU studying music education. Learning with Dr. Barrett from a young age will help you learn and love so much about music in ways that aren’t overwhelming and frustrating for a little kid, or even an adult.”
