FVA is fortunate to partner with Warner Iversen, a Doctoral Student at the Eastman School of Music. Warner has great experience teaching students, and also studies Baroque style instruments, and the Theorbo specifically. For those students who want to master the fundamentals, or for those experienced players who want to learn more about the classical style, lessons at FVA is a great option.
