“Born in Italy in the mid 16th Century, violin possesses one of the most unique and easily recognizable voices of all musical instruments. Violin playing encompasses all the nuances of human emotions and can be described as passionate, intense, and fiery or delicate, sweet and refined and, in the right hands, it can move you and inspire you. I find teaching music very fulfilling experience and I am committed to helping my students to achieve great success on their musical journey! ”
