We have had three of our children study the violin and we especially appreciate the way Frank respects the individuality of each child while teaching the Suzuki method.

A well rounded education necessarily includes in-depth instruction and exposure to great music. It shapes both the thinking and the character of a student. For more than just an added skill, training in beautiful music helps to enrich the souls of our children.

Frank was born to teach violin to children of all ages. He’s professional and funny. He’s gifted and grounded. He’s patient and loving. He’s strict and gracious. He is godly and creative. He’s humble and strong. I can’t say enough about Frank. Our family loves him!!

When Frank Auer was recommended to us over five years ago, we had been searching for a teacher who would enable our son to achieve excellence in order to truly enjoy violin. Little did we know how much and how quickly he would learn, what a wonderful mentor he would have, and how many places violin would take him!
— Christie Hart
 
We love the way Frank takes the time to both gently instruct, but at the same time always hold the bar of excellence high!
