Testimonials
"Colleen is a marvelous, effective, thorough, calm and engaging coach. She has a great way of taking the temperature of each player, getting to know us individually and as a group, and figuring out ways to offer a suggestion that increases our ability to express musical ideas and connect with each other. Everything from phrasing to imagery, and technique to relaxation techniques."
~Renna Pye, chamber music student
"I am very thankful to have Colleen as my chamber music coach. Colleen is a wonderful and effective coach. She has many creative ideas and even introduced me to Music-Minus-One so that I could play in a "quartet" by myself in the midst of the pandemic."
