Introduction
I studied at Juilliard and am an expert in the music industry. My studio offers everything a student needs to succeed: Free Consultation - figuring out what the best option is for you is essential for reaching your goals efficiently. We offer free consultation to make students feel more equipped when making decisions, which in turn makes teachers and music stores more likely to nail satisfying your needs. Customizable Schedule Options - Weekly lessons are just one of many ways you can structure your schedule. We tailor the regularity and types of lessons around your schedule and availability so you decide how music fits into your calendar! Some options students have picked are: bi-weekly, 3 weeks and the 4th week off, twice a week. Forgiving Cancellation Policy - Life happens and we understand that. Our policy makes sure you get the most out of your enrollment by offering free makeups with large rescheduling windows and refunds for long breaks. Read our studio guidelines policy on our website. The Ultimate Practice Guide - Learning in a lesson requires focus on a lot of things: reading, playing, listening, reflecting, making unfamiliar adjustments. As the teacher, I understand that not all advice is immediately absorbed or even memorized, and there's no time for note taking. That's where the practice guide comes in. Instead of trying to recall everything from lesson after the fact on your own, I write the lesson notes for you so you have the best lesson summary possible: the teacher's. These guides are provided after each lesson to improve the quality of your practice sessions between lessons. Personalized Music Arrangements - Getting to play music you connect with is essential in getting fulfilment out of playing as well as motivating practicing regularly​​. Finding an arrangement of that music that fits your skill level can be a challenge, and often times there isn't an arrangement you'd need out there at all. We write custom arrangements tailored to your level so you get access to music you want with the guarantee that it'll fit your skill level. Unmatched Virtual Experience - The pros of online is no travel time and therefore a more convenient scheduling experience, not to mention the advantage of studying with any teacher across the entire world, expanding your options beyond what's local. For years we've worked on addressing the common complaints people have had with virtual learning and are proud to offer an online learning environment unlike anything you've experienced. Crisp audio quality, seamless interaction, engaging visual learning. See for yourself by booking a free tour of our virtual studio.

I was very thrilled to have worked with Fedor for a short period of 2 months- had to cut it short because of my job. I do have prior violin experience at an intermediate level at most and can already read sheet music, but decided to pick up my instrument after 3 years of not playing. Our lessons were virtual and I was a tad bit nervous because it was my first time doing lessons online, but Fedor has a great set up and really knows his technology to screen share sheet music as well as instruct you to position yourself to the camera so he can correct your posture. I was surprised and thrilled at how he has such a good eye to correct even the littlest things about my posture and playing. I felt like I definitely improved after one lesson. Pricing can be a tad bit expensive for those, but playing an instrument is not a cheap hobby to begin with. For example, I already had my own instrument and old books that we used in the lessons. I’d say prepare to spend a lot more $$ if you’re a brand new student. With Fedor’s expertise and experience in the field, I’d say his prices are very fair- you get what you pay for. Due to my work I am sad that I am unable to have anymore lessons with him, but I would 100% recommend Fedor to anyone wanting to learn or touch up their violin skills.

I really enjoyed my first initial lesson with Fedor, and look forward to becoming a regular student learning violin and how to master it with him. Even with current conditions which affect going out in public, we had a Skype call and I received immense value from it.

Fedor did a fantastic job with my teenage son in just a few weeks of lessons. He is technically very strong and gives good advice to students, he has a clear understanding of each individual's strengths and areas of improvement. He is flexible and very supportive. My son who has had a few teachers before, loves working with Fedor.

Fedor is an excellent diagnostician when it comes to the student's needs in terms of improving their technique, both bow and left hand. He is a well-rounded musician who can not only play very well, he can clearly explain and effectively demonstrate correct technique, teach music theory, and is genuinely devoted to helping the student improve.

Details: 65 years or older • 4+ yrs of formal training • Yes, the student can read music • Classical violin • Classical • Jazz • Yes, the student has a violin • 60 minutes • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.
