Ian has been teaching my son violin for about 5 years, and he has been a fantastic teacher. He is patient, kind and personable, while still maintaining high expectations. He is good communicating with both student and parent. He has been a great mentor to my son because he is invested and cares.

Ian was recommended to me by my local luthier when I moved to the area, and I have not been disappointed since! He’s been teaching me for almost three years, and I feel like I’ve learned a lot for personal enrichment and for my church orchestra. He challenges you in all the right ways, and his rates and accommodations for travel and schedule changes are top notch! And he’s great for adult learners getting back in the game and wanting to sharpen their lost skills. Would recommend for students of all ages!

Mr. Ian Livingston has truly helped me grow as a musician. His instruction during lessons has helped me significantly improve as a musician, and he is extremely respectful. I never worry about being underprepared for a lesson because regardless of how prepared I am he brings a positive attitude and is always willing to work with me. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Livingston to any violinist in the area—from intermediate to advanced.
