Simon S. - Strings, Bass, Guitar, Piano

My name is Simon S., and I am a Music Instructor at Crescendo Studios! I specialize primarily in Orchestral Stringed instruments (i.e. violin, viola, cello, and double bass). However, I also teach guitar, bass guitar, and piano.

Prior to Crescendo Studios, I taught at another music school for nearly three years. While at that job, I really solidified my approach to teaching music, as well as found my calling of teaching the next generation of musicians! I personally believe that the lesson room should have a relaxed atmosphere where the student can feel comfortable and prosper in their musical studies. I also believe in having fun during the lessons and relating to my students, but at the same time, being productive and accomplishing our objectives and goals.

Outside of Crescendo Studios, I am an Orchestral Strings Specialist at a local music store. In addition, I play with a small local Chamber Orchestra, as well as play with a local Symphony Orchestra. I am actively auditioning for Professional Orchestras, not to mention practicing a lot!

I have learned a lot in my 20+ years in music. I am always excited to share my knowledge with my students. So, if you are ready to embark on your musical journey, then I am ready to teach! We will definitely have fun, but we will also learn a ton! I cannot wait to see you in my studio at Crescendo Studios!
