(((( Instruction

Violin Lessons
If you feel inspired to play the violin, let's get started! 
With a private instructor, you will learn more quickly the fundamentals of playing.  We'll reinforce concepts and refine your technique to get beyond the notes and achieve true artistry.
Chamber Music
Now accepting applicants (pre-formed groups and individuals) for chamber music classes.  We'll meet once a week to rehearse and discuss ensemble strategies, technique, and interpretation.  The program will include performance and travel opportunities.
Clinics & Sectionals
Does your ensemble or section need some extra attention? 
​As a performer and educator, Mr. Reesman is uniquely suited to work with your students.  Clinic topics may include tone, rhythm, intonation, articulation & expression, and more with a special focus on ensemble and how to play well with others.
Email musicforbothears@gmail.com to schedule.
Music Theory
COMING SOON!  Whether you are preparing for a theory test or just curious about how music works, you should learn music theory. 
Disclaimer: music theory may seem confusing at first, but once it starts to make sense, everything starts to make sense!
Mr. Reesman is currently only offering online lessons.
In-person lessons will resume once COVID vaccines are widely available.
