Welcome to Saratoga Strings!  My name is Joy Peterson, and I have played and loved the violin for 27 years.  I have a Bachelor's degree in violin performance from the University of Utah, and have studied with famous Suzuki String teachers for several years to receive my Advanced Suzuki Teacher certification.  I love teaching the violin, and have taught children and adults to play the violin for over 10 years.  I recently took some time off to take care of my little baby, but I am going to begin teaching again at the end of August 2012.  Please look over my studio policies and call or email me if you're interested in starting lessons.  The violin is such a rewarding instrument and provides a lifetime of opportunities and enjoyment!
