About Jeremy
I enjoy being able to teach and help my students understand (know for themselves) how to play the violin/viola with an optimal beautiful/round sound, play in the most ergonomic manner possible, practice efficiently, and improve rapidly in a short amount of time.

Perfect! I've only had three lessons in the last 3 weeks and I am very impressed with the way he approaches details and technic.
Perfect! Dr. Starr is extremely conscientious in his teaching methods and lesson preparations. His expectations of his students are made very clear and he pays a great deal of attention to one's individual needs and goals. He is very personable and easy to talk to about problems, achievements or questions. He is also an immensely talented and knowledgable musician who is generous in sharing his knowledge!

Finding Jeremy changed my daughter Claire's violin life - that's no exaggeration. Her sound came alive, her expression blossomed. Suddenly, violin was about expressing hersel through music, not drilling disconnected measures of classical pieces that didn't resonate with her. Now she knows where she's going with her playing, and why she wants to make the journey. Of course, practicing is often tough - she's still 13, after all - but when she begins, she knows exactly how to proceed to use her energy and time to it's best advantage.
Jeremy expects quite a bit of his students, as much as he himself is giving, but the tone is never forceful. He invites, encourages and accepts humans as they are when they stumble. His guidence has been invaluable. I highly recommend Jeremy as a teacher.Dr. Starr is patient and professional. He makes the lessons very fun and my 6 year old kid likes him a lot. He holds recitals and master classes regularly and makes the studio as music family.
"Working with Dr. Starr will make you a better musician and prepare you to teach your own students someday! I truly appreciate everything that Dr. Starr taught me during my four years of studying violin at Emporia State University. He not only taught me how to improve my playing through specific violin techniques, but he also encouraged me to understand the underlying concepts of playing the violin. Because of this approach, I am better able to understand the "why" behind every technique and practicing approach that I use. And now as an instrumental teacher, I use these techniques and concepts daily to effectively teach my own instrumental students."
