Newton Violin Studio

When we found Stan Antonevich for our son's violin lessons, we unearthed a rare treasure in our neighborhood. Stan is an exceptional violin virtuoso with a singular talent for imparting his deep mastery of violin playing to his students. In just a few months of studying with Stan, our son's appreciation for the violin's sound quality, as well as his proficiency in proper techniques, has markedly improved. Stan's teaching has kindled our son's interest in classical music and motivates him to practice every day.

As a fellow musician and violinist, I have known Stan for over fifteen years, having worked with him as a concertmaster or soloist in many orchestras in New England. His remarkable leadership skills and elegant violin playing have always been a source of inspiration to me. Stan is passionate about teaching and maintains high standards for his students, much like he does for himself as a performer. His dedication and expertise as a teacher make him an ideal mentor for students who aspire to reach the highest level of proficiency.

Stan's students not only excel in their musical skills but also develop a deep appreciation for the expressive power of the violin. As an artist, Stan believes that the violin can communicate any emotion to the audience, from joy to sorrow, through the music. His interpretations of pieces such as Schindler's List or Bruch's violin concerto are moving and evoke vivid images in the listener's mind.

Teaching is an essential part of Stan's life, and it complements his artistic pursuits. He started giving private violin lessons while studying for his Masters' degree at the Longy School of Music. Teaching the violin is akin to being a doctor, constantly diagnosing the student's playing and devising ways to improve it. For Stan, teaching and performing are complementary, and he enjoys both equally. Sharing his music with the audience during his performances fulfills a vital aspect of his identity as a violinist, while passing his knowledge to the younger generation as a teacher brings him joy and balance in life.
