Introduction
I am a very experienced and dedicated teacher, therefore my students' progress is the first priority for me. I bring out the best in every student in terms of their musical talent and potential. I always give my beginners the correct and precise technical start. Regardless of their goals, they all benefit from it - if they chose to take a professional path, they have no technical struggles playing all the difficult works, or, if they choose to play as a hobby, they can still sound great, in tune, and really enjoy their playing. I have a great amount of experience teaching students on all levels, from the absolute beginner to the highest level conservatory / college student. I have a Doctorate Degree in Violin
Performance. I have helped many of my students to get into very prestigious music programs, conservatories and colleges.
I am experienced in performing solo and in the chamber groups - I have several Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center performances, as well as winning 3 International Competitions.
I also have a passion for playing at Weddings and Events! I love the feeling of bringing people joy with the music I play. I cater to multi-cultural Weddings such as Indian, Jewish, Russian, and many others. I always work with my clients to create special, personalized music programs for the ceremonies and cocktail receptions.

Absolutely incredible. We invited Dina to play at our wedding ceremony in Central Park. We got in touch before the ceremony and Dina gave us several invaluable recommendations on the music selection. The ceremony itself was magical - thanks to her music! Dina is incredibly talented and we were lucky to have her there with us.
Dina, thank you so much for sharing your talent with us, for making our wedding day so special, and for bringing beauty into this world!

Dina played Violin at our Central park Wedding yesterday and it was simply enchanting! We chose all the music together... She is such a great violinist that you would think you have a whole quartet playing.. And when I asked her to play Puccini, she suggested against it as a processional stating it would not sound perfect with just violin and we decided on cannon d.. To my surprise, I walked down the aisle to a beautifully played O mio babbino by Puccini.. I cannot even immagine how much time she must have spent rehearsing that leading up to our wedding and it was just beautiful!!everything she played was just beautiful! thank you Dina!

Dina and her harpist partner, Catherine, where awesome! She was really responsive, accommodating, she had great suggestions for songs and their performance was top notch. The music was so beautiful I almost started tearing up ( and almost ruined my makeup haha) as I was walking down the isle. I definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a professional top notch musician!
