About Me

University trained at the Hartt School of Music in Hartford, CT, USA. I teach all styles of music, with exception of classical guitar. My approach is based off of music theory, as I believe it is very important to have that base of knowledge. (Teach a man a fish... You know the saying) My favorite students are the the ones who are willing to put the time in. Learning a musical instrument is a difficult, yet incredibly fun and rewarding task. But it takes hard work and practice.

I have played in bands for many years and have gained a lot of experience. I am very well versed in all guitar equipment and working with other musicians.

Dave

I have been a professional guitarist, songwriter, and teacher for over 20 years. I am happy to work with students of all ages and I teach most styles of music. I work with each student to create lessons that follow their interests and help them play their best. I have a master's degree in music and I teach at University of the Arts. I teach in person at my home studio and sometimes travel to the student's home. I also teach by Zoom and Skype.

Sendi

Hi there, I am Sendi, professional violinist based in the U.S. I am offering violin lessons for beginners and professionals. I have 6+ years of experience as a teacher. I am highly skilled violinist who has performing experience as a soloist, chamber, and orchestra player. I have been working as a concertmaster and a leader of different orchestras under a baton of great conductors such as Gianandrea Noseda, Jukka-Pekka Sarasate, Claudio Vandelli, Lahav Shani, and many more. I have an experience in orchestra auditions and I can help you to learn any orchestra excerpts.

I love ensemble playing and solo performances and I have great experience in both. I have performed as a soloist in Carnegie Hall (New York), Opera America (New York), Baruch Performing Art Center (New York), Kimmel Center for Performing Arts (Philadelphia), Rock Hall (Philadelphia), National Opera and Ballet Theater (Georgia) and many more.

I have given 10 solo recitals and can help you to prepare a program and present to the audience the strongest aspects of your violin playing.

As an orchestra player I have been working with Philadelphia Virtuoso Symphony Orchestra (2022), Temple Composers Symphony Orchestra (2021-2022), Pan Caucasian Youth Symphony Orchestra (2019), International Youth Orchestra-Academy in Bayreuth (2015-2018), and many more.

I am the winner of many national and international competitions and can easily help you to get your goal!

I can and would be glad to help you to succeed in your career or just learn to play for fun!
I believe any person can make a dream come true and I'd be more than happy to help you!
