If you teach cello/bass, please consider a move! There are over 50 cello/bass students in Marquette that don’t have a private teacher and the next town to the west, Negaunee, has a new, enthusiastic director who will also be looking for a teacher for her lower string players.

Marquette is nestled between pristine forests and Lake Superior in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Although I thought I was a city girl, it took one drive to this community to change me for good and convince me that it is my mission to live and teach strings in this very inspiring place.

Members of the Marquette Community are strong supporters of the arts. Arts groups include Marquette Symphony Orchestra (4 concerts per year), Choral Society, City Band, Children’s Theater, Hiawatha Traditional Music, Blues Society, Art on the Rocks, Lake Superior Theater and assorted concerts/workshops are produced annually by the Marquette Arts and Culture Department, Marquette Public Schools Fine Arts and the Music/Art/Theater Departments of Northern Michigan University. It’s easy to stay busy teaching and playing in Marquette County.

The quality of life here is unsurpassed. We have lots of trails for biking, hiking, skiing; we have a well-run downhill ski/snowboard area; we have clean beaches and several warm inland lakes as well as the deep blue waters of Lake Superior. If you like fresh air, you will love Marquette!
