I've been playing violin since age 11. However, from the age of 8 I was hooked on music. I graduated high school from Dr. Phillips which had a Performing Arts Magnet program which I was a part of. I was soloist with the Dr. Phillips Chamber Symphony when we took a trip to Atlanta, Georgia where I performed the Theme from " Schindler's List."

I then went on to pursue my Bachelor's degree from Stetson University in Deland, Florida. My teacher was Routa Kroumovitch-Gomez a Moscow Conservatory graduate and former student of David Oistrakh. While at Stetson I was awarded the William E. Duckwitz award. I was also awarded the Baron Gee String Scholarship that made me also a member of the school's official string quartet. With the Barron string quartet I performed throughout Florida, playing for students as well as concert members. My senior year I performed Vivaldi's "Summer" from the Four Seasons at the Stetson University Chamber Orchestra concert.

Hello! My name is Monica N. and I am a violin instructor currently living in New York City. I have been studying and performing for 14 years, 6 years under Richard Chang, Julliard graduate and former student of Dorothy DeLay and Hyo Rang. I’ve performed with countless ensembles, from string quartets and chamber ensembles to the Maryland State Orchestra and National Festival Orchestra at Carnegie Hall. I have also performed with smaller groups playing tango, flamenco, and swing jazz.
As a violin instructor, I absolutely love sharing my passion for this instrument with others and developing creative exercises to nurture good form and technique. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all method to learning, and that my job as a teacher is to discover what methods works best for the student and develop learning tools accordingly. I pride myself on putting creativity and expression on the same par as technical mastery, and enjoy encouraging students to see the value in both.

I am a very encouraging and engaging teacher who focuses on proper form and technique, while maintaining the student's interest and encouraging creativity.

I incorporates both traditional and Suzuki methods and caters every lesson to the students individual needs and goals.

There is never a dull moment in lesson with me. I keep the student motivated and excited about leaning to play the violin.
