Everyone is different, and my lessons reflects this contention. Depending on your body type, age, musicality, technical level and personality, tailoring my lessons to you or your child's needs yields the most promising results in an efficient manner. Being a late starter, I have managed to continue my education and garnered a degree in a top tier international music school and advanced my career as a versatile violinist/violist. I will help set goals, and give tools for you or your child's ... growth and improvement on a difficult instrument in a concise and thorough fashion.
