About
I am a classically trained violinist, with nearly 30 years of professional experience both in Europe and the USA. I have earned a BM Degree in Music Education and a MM in Violin Performance, and offer highly qualified help to any enthusiast willing to study and learn to play the violin.
As an entertainer, I perform in a variety of musical genres ranging from classical to pop. I Would travel to your place if desired, though a considerable discount is offered to students who prefer coming to my studio in Sun Valley.
I have experience with all levels and ages of students - from K to adult, and from complete beginner - to advanced. Helping students of various ages and backgrounds, I implement all experience and training gained over the years. In purpose to adapt and adjust to every student's personal goals, tastes, style, and level of training, I use various methods and techniques.
With the help of my husband - a modern American violin maker - I can offer expertise with any instrument-related problem.
Please, share your goals and preferences with me, and I will help you achieve them!
I believe that music is the finest form of expression and communication between humans. I am one of those blessed, lucky people who love doing what they do! I love the violin and share my passion for it with my students. Also, really enjoy performing and appreciate students who are passionate about making music. Helping others to learn using that wonderful way of self-expression keeps me going!

We really enjoyed having Ivanka and Ivanna perform for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour in South Lake Tahoe! I definitely teared up hearing the violin music play as my wife walked down the aisle 🙂. Thanks again for being a part of our special day.

Absolutely magical!!! Ivanka and Yavanna played at my wedding throughout our procession, ceremony and during appetizers. Their presence and beautiful music made the atmosphere so enchanting. I highly recommend Ivanka and Yavanna if you want to add an element of sophistication to an event. So honored to have had them be a part of my wedding. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ivanka and her companion were wonderful. They provided beautiful live music for our ceremony at a very reasonable price. Ivanka was very professional and even invited us to her home weeks before to help us pick out pieces and play them for us. We would definitely hire her the next time we had an event in Reno.

Ivanka and her beautiful music was the perfect finishing touch to a perfect Reno wedding. Ivanka worked with me to select the perfect song choices and her knowledge and expertise proved to be priceless!! My hat off to you Ivanka for a job well done. I can’t thank you enough.
