July 17, 2026We had Clair and her violin partner for a concert under our oak tree in the vineyard on June 28. The concert was very successful and everybody had a great time. Clair’s team was on time, professional and did everything that we asked them to do. They were also very adaptable when we had to make some quick changes. We will have Clair‘s team for a few more dates this summer and we look forward to continuing to work with them.

June 26, 2026We were so grateful to have Clair play at our wedding. She traveled from Salem to Bend without hesitation, communicated clearly, and made everything effortless on our end. She even went above and beyond to learn a specific song that was really meaningful to us, and it made the moment unforgettable. Her music added so much warmth to the ceremony. We recommend her wholeheartedly and would hire her again in a heartbeat!

I am Clair Dietz, a professional music teacher and performer with a passion for sharing my love of music. I teach music at two elementary schools in the Pacific Northwest and offer private lessons and performances for special occasions. My music education background includes a bachelor's degree in Cello Performance and Music Education from the University of Oregon. When I'm not teaching or performing, I enjoy staying active by engaging in outdoor activities such as hiking, jogging, and biking.
My Story:
My cello journey began when I was 10 years old, and it was love at first note! The deep, rich sound of the instrument resonated with me, and I knew music would forever be a part of my life.
