Introduction: I am an enthusiastic and patient teacher with over 30 years of experience. I hold a Bachelor of Music degree in violin performance (Manhattan School of Music) and a Master of Music degree in improvisation (University of Michigan). Building a caring and trusting relationship with my students and their families is my primary focus. My unique approach to learning enables each student to discover and explore their own musical path. Having performed throughout the US, Europe, and Asia, I have enjoyed a career as a multi-instrumentalist and composer in all genres of music. My eclectic knowledge offers a well-rounded atmosphere for all ages, styles, and abilities. My NW Portland studio provides a safe and creative environment for learning and is gender-inclusive. I am currently offering in person and zoom lessons in violin, composition, and improvisation. For more information, please visit reginasadowski.com.

Warm, kind, and experienced, Regina is one of the most helpful and encouraging teachers I’ve had. Learning the violin can be quite challenging, and Regina helps to make it much more approachable. She meets me right where I am in learning the instrument, helping to zoom in on difficulties and make them easier to digest. Highly recommended!

As a thirty-year-old with a newfound desire to play the violin, I was looking for a teacher with a sense of humor and LOTS of patience. Regina is exactly what I was searching for. She is the most encouraging person I’ve ever known, and rejoices over the tiniest achievements. Her enthusiasm is motivating, and she skillfully and creatively fields my dozens of questions at each lesson. Regina has contagious joy and a clear passion for teaching and music and is generous with her time and knowledge. Although Zoom lessons have presented unique challenges, Regina has a gift for explaining things descriptively, so the lessons are equally thorough. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an inspiring, perceptive, and collaborative teacher.

My daughter was ready to give up on violin when she switched over to Regina for a teacher. Regina brought back the love of music for her. Every lesson my daughter would skip home form happiness. I highly recommend her.
