Hannah Tarley, Violinist | Teacher

Welcome, fellow musicians and new friends! Thank you for stopping by Notes By The Bay, my studio page. I am thrilled to embark on a musical journey with you!

Let me introduce myself. I am an Astral Artist winner, teacher, soloist, performing artist, and entrepreneur. I hold a Bachelor's degree from the Royal College of Music, a Master's degree from Juilliard School, and a Master of Musical Arts degree from Yale School of Music.

At Notes By The Bay, we offer private violin and viola lessons, orchestra audition preparation, competition recording preparation, and group ensemble sessions. Our music festival for kids runs during the summer, too!

I firmly believe that music has a magical ability to boost the spirits of both the performer and the listener. I am fascinated by its impact on our human development. In our lessons, we focus on enhancing left and right-hand techniques, rhythm, musical knowledge, and musicality. We also explore the correlation between music and spoken word.

Our rates for 1-on-1 classes are as follows:

• 30-minute lessons: $65 (best for young beginners)
• 45-minute lessons: $90 (ideal for intermediate level)
• 1-hour lessons: $120(recommended for intermediate/advanced level)

For group classes (4-6 students per class):

• 1-hour lessons: $30
• If you prefer semi-private classes (1-3 people), feel free to contact me for pricing.

We also offer a limited number of sliding scale placements for talented students in our studio, so we can work out a solution that works for everyone.

You can take our classes in-person in Cupertino or over Zoom. Contact us today and schedule your FREE trial class!
