Description:

With more than 20 years playing the violin and over a decade teaching music, I possess a wealth of experience in various types of performance environments on a global scale. My extensive knowledge comes from attending music festivals and learning from the best musicians in the world, and it extends beyond the violin to include other instruments like piano, clarinet, conducting, and composition.

Given that music is a deeply personal art form, I believe in providing one-on-one lessons, which I strive to make highly effective. I work towards ensuring that each student notices an improvement and progresses closer to their goals in each session.

I had the pleasure of working with Fedor for two months, though we had to cut our sessions short due to my job. While I had some intermediate-level experience with the violin and could read sheet music, I had not played for three years and was eager to pick it up again. Our lessons were conducted virtually, which made me a little nervous since I had never done online lessons before. However, Fedor's excellent setup and tech-savvy approach made it all seamless. He was able to share sheet music onscreen and instruct me on how to position myself for the camera so he could correct my posture. I was pleasantly surprised by how attentive Fedor was to detail, noticing even the smallest issues with my posture and playing and giving me precise feedback. After just a single lesson, I felt like I had improved significantly. While I acknowledge that playing an instrument can be an expensive hobby, Fedor's prices are fair for the quality of instruction he provides. I was fortunate to have my own instrument and materials, but new students should be prepared to invest some money into equipment and materials. Although I am no longer able to continue lessons with him due to work obligations, I would highly recommend Fedor to anyone looking to learn or sharpen their violin skills. His expertise and experience make him an exceptional teacher.

Fedor possesses exceptional diagnostic skills in identifying areas of improvement for his students' techniques- bow and left hand. In addition to his great musicianship, he communicates and demonstrates correct techniques seamlessly, possesses knowledge in music theory, and remains dedicated to his students' improvement.

Esther appreciates the professional teaching methods he employs. As a result, my daughter endeavors to emulate his approach, especially in skills such as proper bow-holding and finger techniques for proficient playing.
