Studio Information:
Each year a limited number of openings are made available to ambitious violin students (of all levels and ages) wishing to join myViolin Studio in the Greater Hartford, Connecticut (USA) area.
The studio offers a comprehensive and rigorous training program for all levels and ages that are tailored to your needs and goals. The studio is driven by three core values: (1) openness, (2) flexibility and (3) the search for excellence.
The same performance-enhancement training methods used by coaches of Gold Medal-winning Olympic athletes are incorporated into the personalized curriculum. As a result, all students improve self-confidence, focus, anxiety issues, problem solving, technique, and artistic creativity. In addition, students are all taught to have a "leadership" mind-set and learn to set goals and accomplish them, which helps them succeed in school and in their future career endeavors (in music and other fields of interest).
The spirit I wish to infuse in my teaching is to transmit a musical knowledge and tradition in an atmosphere of artistic fellowship and sharing. Expert guidance in a friendly and nurturing environment is provided, in order for all students to help them achieve their individual goals.
The following areas are developed in the coaching sessions:
1. Stance & Violin Position
2. Bowing Technique
3. Tone Production & Intonation Secrets
4. Left Hand Technique
5. Scales
6. Etudes (Exercises)
7. Repertoire
8. Performance
9. Practice Methods & Overcoming Performance Anxiety
My work with my students has already produced fine results. Many of them have won prestigious competitions and leadership positions in orchestra.

“You have been extremely great and Andrew is very fortunate to have you as his teacher. I can tell you that he works hard not only to learn his violin lesson well, but also because he feels inspired by you and he does not want to disappoint you. He wants to make sure he has tried his very best before he sees you for lessons. I cannot say it enough times; you are a very kind person. I am convinced that it is your dedication and hard work with Andrew that has helped him do so well in such a short period of time. While most people including his teachers fail to understand his uniqueness, you have been the only person besides his immediate family who has been willing to enter his world, accept him the way he is and unlock his potential. We are so grateful to you for everything!” - Mike S. (father of student Andrew)
