”Amazing violin instructor. We have had lessons with other teachers and Tania is by far the best. She knows how to play the violin and how to teach it. She goes the extra mile for her students. This is the teacher for you if you want to learn violin and see true results.””

”Tania is teaching violin to my 6 year old daughter. We only had one in person lesson before quarantine, and Tania has been amazing by offering virtual lessons. She understands the attention span of a 6 year old, and doesn’t push her too hard. As most children, my daughter wants to play songs, and not learn the fundamentals. Tania is excellent and showing why the bow hold and form, make all the difference in the sounds she can make. Also, throwing a wrench into the lessons, we got a brand new violin right before the quarantine, and Tania and I have to try to tune, and figure out the sounds together, and I have no experience with the violin. She has been so patient with us, and I appreciate her efforts so much. She is an excellent teacher, and I highly recommend her if your child is interested in learning the violin.””

”My daughter has had several good violin teachers in the past, but she has never had a teacher like Tania! Tania is amazing! Not only does she teach with a lot of patience, but she helps my daughter to understand what she is doing and strives to improve on those skills. I also thought teaching on Zoom and not in person would be a hindrance, but Tania does it in such a way that it feels like she is present in the room. Aria looks forward to her lessons and practices everyday. Thank you Tania for all you do for Aria.”

”I am an adult learner, I started with a different instructor but I was frustrated with a number of things. I contacted Tania with my frustrations and then started lessons. She has been a joy to work with.
Her first question to me was what my goals were. I really appreciated this, because I am an adult who has carved out 30-60 minutes each day to practice. So I definitely have goals. The overall goal of improving is nicely balanced with pieces and styles that I find interesting and enjoyable.
My previous teacher was not very attentive to body mechanics and so I was hitting a wall both in terms of ability and comfort. I mentioned to him my back was hurting and he thought I was making conversation rather than asking for help. I didn’t even need to tell Tania my back was hurting after practicing, because she starting suggesting tweaks to my mechanics after watching me play for a few minutes. Playing immediately became more comfortable and enjoyable.
Tania understands that playing violin is part listening, mechanics, theory and playing. When I’m having trouble with one we will discuss parts of the others and at first it didn’t seem related the suddenly I see a convection between different parts and the connection makes my playing better.
I would absolutely recommend Tania. She has a deep understanding of the topic and makes learning violin funner and easier. Scheduling has always been easy.””
