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 have been a freelance violinist and a professional violin teacher for the past 30 years. Playing in the orchestra and teaching students are two of my greatest passions in life. As a private violin instructor, I firmly believe that education is impossible without student motivation and passion. As much as I love teaching, my best experience is also learning from my students.

Education - received in the Republic of Georgia (Eastern Europe)
- Tbilisi State Music Academy - 7 year degree in Violin/Piano performance.
- Tbilisi State College of Music and Arts - Bachelor's Degree in Violin Performance.
- Tbilisi State Music Conservatory - Master's Degree in Violin Performance.

I am very fortunate to love teaching because it allows me to share my knowledge and incredible experiences that I have acquired in my 30 years of being a musician in Europe and the United States.

Professional work experience:
- Park Avenue Chamber Orchestra - NY,NY
- Charlotte Symphony...

"Being an active modern musician who takes International stages, my experiences have kept me centered amongst the trends, scenes and happenings to new music."

My experiences have been far-reaching . I was trained formally as a concertise of the classical guitar. I studied at the Cleveland Music School Settlement and at the Cleveland State University before my sojourn to Vienna, Austria where I was accepted as a student at the Academie for Music and Performing Arts, arriving there at the age of 19, becoming a protege of Luise Walker-Hesjek.

I have been a teacher of guitar since my High School days.

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.
