"My daughter took lessons with Julie for 5 years and loved her experience. Julie is so supportive and an excellent musician! I highly recommend her!" … Julie Christian

"My son began taking clarinet lessons with Julie when he was 11 (he is now 14). Prior to that, he took lessons with a teacher at a local music store for almost a year. Once he switched to lessons with Julie, his progress with the clarinet accelerated dramatically. He enjoys his lessons with her and says she is “kind, patient and explains things clearly.” I was a bit concerned about switching to online lessons when the pandemic began but my son’s progress has continued at a steady rate. We feel very fortunate to have found such a wonderful teacher."...Shanie Hsueh
"We highly recommend Julie Werth for clarinet lessons! She is calm, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. My daughter has enjoyed lessons with Julie for 8 years and has progressed up through band and orchestra levels at school and BYSO."...Peggy Joanou
