Introduction

Hi! I'm a professional concert violinist with over 22 years of international performance and teaching experience. My teaching approach blends the time-tested methods of the European Masters with my own proven techniques and accelerated learning strategies. This allows students to progress quickly and confidently, whether they’re beginners or advanced players. Many of my students have won competitions and earned scholarships to top conservatories like Oberlin, Manhattan School of Music, and Rutgers Mason Gross School of the Arts. I welcome students of all ages and levels, offering both in-person lessons at my Burtonsville, MD studio and virtual lessons for those farther away. Lessons are tailored to your goals and emphasize both technical mastery and expressive artistry. While I specialize in classical training, I also teach a range of genres including jazz, folk, tango, chamber and orchestral repertoire -providing you with a well-rounded and inspiring musical education. Let’s work together to help you reach your full potential. I look forward to connecting with you!

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

$200/month weekly 30 minutes $275/month weekly 45 minutes $350/month weekly 60 minutes Discounts: I provide discounts when more than one family member takes lessons regularly with me. Lessons are scheduled once a week. The duration of lesson is determined by each student’s level and their age.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

I offer a free online consultation where I listen carefully to what the customer wants to achieve. I develop and customize a lesson plan. I provide exercises and choose a repertoire that will accelerate their progress.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I was trained in Europe and started my music education at an early age. I worked with famous pedagogues and musicians and participated in many international competitions. I have a master degree in violin performance and enjoy performing and teaching my students.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I enjoy teaching and I feel happy helping others achieve their goals!

What types of customers have you worked with?

From 3 years old students to 72 years old adults.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I was invited to teach a masterclass for a community chamber music day. There were many young artists playing in duos, trios and some string quartets. What a great pleasure to inspire next generations and help them achieve their goals!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Make sure the teacher you hire has a lot of experience and knows in detail the violin repertoire. Having a great teacher who can provide real guidance is key to success!
