Creative Strings in West Toronto is the music studio of Susan Spier.
As of 2020 I am no longer teaching violin. I have much enjoyed my delightful young students over the past 18 years (2002-2020) who have grown into amazing and interesting men and women. (The adults were already amazing and interesting) I hope all continue to enjoy and appreciate music - especially now that they do not have to practice!
I am focusing on other activities both musical and otherwise including: recitals, presentations, lectures, volunteering and travel. See What's New page.
