Learn from Great Violin Teachers

I am a professional modern and Baroque violinist and a passionate violin teacher. I have more than 22 years of experience in violin performance and I have been a teacher for more than 8 years having taught students of all levels and ages ranging between 5 and 65.

Love of music and a passion for excellence... these are attributes I believe in and demonstrate to all my students. If you have preference for a teacher who has years of experience, teaching and performing behind her, then I hope you will consider me as your new teacher!
