WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT~
THE STUDENTS
Since 2014, SVVA has produced a number of outstanding students who have on to pursued careers in music and become professionals. Our comprehensive offerings include violin and viola lessons in person or online, audition prep, and college advising for intermediate to pre-professionals levels.
THE TEACHERS
The husband and wife team of the SVVA, Luka and Amber, have 5 degrees on both violin and viola between them from some of the world's leading conservatories and universities. Students in the studio have the benefit of having a college professor and world class performers that have dedicated their lives to raising the next generation of artists and global citizens.
THE SCHOOL
We are a small music school and we like it that way. Larger, commercial music schools often have high teacher turnaround, hire inexperienced teachers and charge a high price despite the low quality. You can be assured that you are getting the best training at all times.
While the violin and viola can take a lifetime to master, a solid foundation coupled with a precise course of study, can achieve lovely results in less time. SVVA uses a proprietary 10 Level system exclusive so proper facility and technique are ensured every step of the way. Lessons and classes are divided amongst the strengths of the instructors for the best possible results.
We love watching our students grow and develop and reach milestone goals. We have had the pleasure of helping students get accepted to their top choice universities and conservatories (Juilliard, Rice, Peabody, USC, Northwestern etc.), be selected for Region and All State, or youth symphony and so much more. We love challenging our students and seeing our students meet or exceed the challenges through supportive and quality instruction.

Amber instructs my 13 year old daughter on violin. Amber is an amazing instructor- motivating and encouraging but also exacting. I am sure that she is the reason my daughter has continued this instrument. I am very happy with my daughter's improvement this year.

My son is 14 years old and has been taking Viola lessons with Amber for more than three years now. Amber is engaging, motivating, kind and very devoted to her students. My son enjoys his lessons and respects Amber tremendously. I am extremely thankful to Amber and highly recommend her as a Viola instructor. She is very experienced and professional.

My son has improved a lot since he started with Amber. She is very detail oriented and describes what needs to be practiced during the week. She relates very well with kids and is firm. I have recommended her to many friends and they are all very happy with her.
