I took a couple of lessons with Angel to brush up on my violin technique, and they were absolutely worth it! He was able to quickly pinpoint a few areas that could use improvement, and helped me fix them. He has a kind and patient teaching style, while still giving helpful feedback. I'll be back soon for more lessons!

Angel is knowledgeable and perceptive. I'm more aware of the weaknesses I need to strengthen to take my violin further. 10/10 would recommend.

Our daughter, Sylvi, has been taking violin lessons with Angel now for almost two years, and the progress she has made has been remarkable. We were nervous to start her on a challenging instrument at such a young age (she is 7), but we could not have found a more positive, supportive and encouraging teacher who really understands how to inspire children. We have appreciated Angel’s flexibility with the schedule, we and look forward to watching Sylvi grow as a musician with Angel as her teacher for years to come. -Teydin and Andrew Romanowsky

I have only had a handful of lessons with, Angel, but he has already improved my bowing and fingering, my attention to pitch, and he is introducing me to 3rd position, something I wasn’t even aware of after three years of following the Suzuki method.

I started studying the violin two years ago. I asked the violist of a chamber music ensemble that I know well if he knew a violin teacher in Newton. I am a teacher myself, and I recognize great teaching such as Angel’s. He makes no more than 3 or 4 suggestions in our half-hour lesson. Often his suggestion improves my playing instantaneously. That number also is plenty for a beginner’s focus during a week of practicing. The positive reinforcement I get from him helps me to worry less about my success in the moment and enjoy my progress more. Angel seems to teach with the same expertise, dedication and enthusiasm that permeate the other areas of his musical life—his roles of soloist, concert master, and string department leader. I feel very fortunate to have him as my teacher!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have done my very best to offer a fair price. If anyone feels differently, please do not hesitate to ask!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I get to know the student personally and ease him/her into the joy of music making!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am an active performer with two or three concerts a week and travel regularly. I also have many students and am a juror at music competitions. Being in constant contact with my colleagues and current/past students helps me stay on the bleeding edge of the classical music business.
