A learning community for kids & teens

Located in Seattle's Lake City / Sand Point neighborhood, Shula teaches violin — and occasionally viola da gamba — to students aged 5-18. They take near-weekly private lessons year-round and participate in group events once or twice per month, including recitals, classical chamber music play-ins, and fiddle jams. Some of the students also enjoy ensemble programs and workshops at Shula's organizations Seattle Fiddlesticks and Seattle Historical Arts for Kids and elsewhere in the community.

A former preschool teacher, Shula received violin-teacher training from the Suzuki Association of the Americas. She has a BA in music (and English) from UC Berkeley and occasionally performs Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque music.
