About

Hi! I'm a professional concert violinist with over 22 years of international performance and teaching experience. My teaching approach blends the time-tested methods of the European Masters with my own proven techniques and accelerated learning strategies. This allows students to progress quickly and confidently, whether they’re beginners or advanced players. Many of my students have won competitions and earned scholarships to top conservatories like Oberlin, Manhattan School of Music, and Rutgers Mason Gross School of the Arts. I welcome students of all ages and levels, offering both in-person lessons at my Burtonsville, MD studio and virtual lessons for those farther away. Lessons are tailored to your goals and emphasize both technical mastery and expressive artistry. While I specialize in classical training, I also teach a range of genres including jazz, folk, tango, chamber and orchestral repertoire -providing you with a well-rounded and inspiring musical education. Let’s work together to help you reach your full potential. I look forward to connecting with you!

My daughter is so excited after her first lesson. I can tell this is a great match, the instructor is kind and knowledgeable. She was also very helpful answering my questions promptly as I navigated instrument rental and supplies. We are so happy we found Adina!

Adina is an outstanding violin instructor who is very patient, intuitive, and encouraging. I truly appreciated her insightful teaching style where she provided positive feedback on my violin playing ability and challenged me to play more advanced violin pieces. I’m very thankful to have Adina as a violin instructor.
