Experienced tutor in Violin in North Kingstown, Patricia offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Pat Petersen is an excellent violin and viola teacher. My daughter has taken lessons with her regularly for over six years and has progressed very well as a player under Pat's instruction. She now also teaches viola to my younger son. Both of my children thrive musically under her guidance and strive to do their best and to meet her high (yet reasonable) expectations. Overall, she's good natured, caring, and professional. We feel very lucky to have found her as a teacher!

I feel very lucky to have Mrs. Petersen as my viola teacher. She is incredibly professional, patient, and enthusiastic. I have been taking lessons with her every week for 9 years now, and would not change a thing. Because of her guidance, I have been able to succeed in groups such as the Rhode Island Philharmonic Youth Symphony, the junior and senior All-State Orchestras, and the New England Conservatory Youth Symphony. She has had a significant impact on my life, and inspires me every day to become both a better violist and a better person.
