Viola with Zhenya Z.

Hello, I am a classically trained violin teacher. I hold a degree from the Music School of Belarus, and Hood College in the United States. I have taught and performed for several years in Europe and the USA. I tailor my curriculum according to the personal goals of each student. My objective is to help unleash musical abilities while providing a solid classical foundation. A number of my students sit First Chair Violin in youth orchestras, with others having continued their musical pursuits through higher education. My teaching philosophy: It is never too late to learn! I have students ranging from 4 to 81. No matter how old you are, if you really want to learn to play a music instrument, you should do it. I always make sure that my students enjoy the lessons even when they face challenges. I encourage them to practice daily, and motivate them throughout the learning process. As a proof of their progress, students participate in recitals twice a year.
