Julie Kelly

Our two children studied music with Dr. Barrett for several years. Both have thrived in her implementation of the Suzuki method, and in the recitals and concerts they perform several times a year.

The last 12 years of being a student under Dr. Barrett has been the most gratifying and unique experience. She laid down the foundations of my love for music and led me to where I am one step at a time.
