I was looking for a violin teacher for my daughter. Her previous teacher of 8 years was a successful Suzuki teacher who had more than 30 students. My daughter is a hard worker and After 8 years, her skills was limited and lacks ability to play with phasing and musically. Her teacher only focused on writing fingering on music and as soon as student can play from beginning to the end of piece, then it's ready to move on to the next piece in Suzuki book. It was a frustrating experience that my daughter's violin playing was robotic and completely lack of musicality ( so were all 30 of her students). Sadly, my daughter started losing interest in daily practice, from 1 hr to 10 min. I was worry that she will give up taking violin lessons after 8 years of study. Then a colleague referred me to Steven Maloney from Violin Lessons Chicago. He changed my daughters life! Steve inspired her to play with confidence with real feeling, not just play the notes. She had lost interest in violin, but now she's so excited to practice and make music. I can't thank Steve enough. Bravo!! He's the best!!!

Steven Maloney is the finest violin teacher I have ever encountered. He is both a master of his instrument and a superb educator who teaches with zeal, kindness, dedication, humor and utter professionalism. He is incomparable and deserves recognition as such.

I am an adult student who had played for some years before starting lessons with Mr. Maloney. He has sound technique and impeccable musicianship, but, beyond that, he is a very gifted teacher. Like all good teachers, he is patient and has a broad pedagogical repertoire to share with students. His teaching is rooted in discernment, in his observation of the individual student, his analysis of that student's gifts and weaknesses, which allows him to find the most efficient techniques and musical principles that will open doors for the student.

Steven Maloney is an excellent violin teacher- far superior to the ten teachers who taught violin to my children over the past twelve years. He is kind, very patient and responsive to the needs of his students. He quickly solves technical problems in solo, quartet, and orchestra music that he helps them with. He teaches all the technique they need (such as scales, arpeggios, vibrato, shifting) without endless drudgery. He teaches solo pieces and concertos to the point of mastery by the student, and he has a deep understanding of music and violin technique that he generously shares. Reviewed by Agnes C.,parent

Having devoted twenty-five years to music teacher training at the college level, I instantly perceived in him the requisite skills and personality traits that go to make a highly effective teacher. I suggest he is able to relate to students at any age level. --Dr. Charles R. Groeling, PhD Professor Emeritus, Roosevelt University
